SINGAPORE – The new Bidadari estate will have a polyclinic by 2027, located along with a nursing home along Upper Aljunied Road.
It is one of 12 new polyclinics the government plans to launch by 2030. With the additions, Singapore will have 32 polyclinics located around the island by then.
Explaining the reason why the polyclinic and the nursing home are in the same place, Dr. Janil Puthucheary, Minister of State for Health, said: “This will be important for patients entering the Bidadari polyclinic because you have Toa Payoh , which is a mature farm, and there is an increasing number of elderly people with chronic diseases and diseases for the elderly. “
Bidadari is a 93ha farm located in the mature town of Toa Payoh, and very close to three MRT stations: Woodleigh, Potong Pasir and Bartley.
The new integrated development is located near the Alkaff Lakeview Housing Board group. The nearest train stop is Woodleigh Station, about 500m away.
Dr. Janil, who spoke to reporters during a visit to Ang Mo Kio Polyclinic on Monday (October 19), said the polyclinic will also serve the “many new young families” on the estate, which will have around 10,000 floors. HDB progressively completed by 2022..
“We will launch the tender at the end of this year and launch the consultancy and design process, and we expect the Bidadari polyclinic to be operational by 2027,” said Dr. Janil, who is also the Minister of State for Communications and Information.
Residents of HDB’s first two new projects in Bidadari, which includes Alkaff Lakeview, began collecting keys to their apartments starting in July 2019.
