Our Achievements & Awards

2021
  • ​Right-sited bone health screening in the community amid pandemic disruptions. We secured four community sites (Nee Soon East, Fuchun and Woodlands Community Clubs, and Geylang East Swimming Complex) to ensure continuity of Mobile BMD service in the Central-North region when the sites at some polyclinics were made inaccessible due to COVID-19 measures.
  • ​​Provided on-site X-rays for new migrant workers at Onboard centres to ensure our nation's migrant workforce is operationally ready. Since March 2021, our Mobile X-ray has been deployed to Onboard centres at Punggol, Eunos and Sengkang West.
  • Launched two diagnostic centres in the new Bukit Panjang Polyclinic and Kallang Polyclinic in Oct 2021.
  • Introduced primary care's first hands-free exposure switch for mammogram screening at Kallang Polyclinic to enhance patient care by reducing the potential risk of cross-infection.
  • Upgraded our mobile X-ray machine at the Institute of Mental Health to a digital radiography system to provide convenient on-site X-rays in the medical ward. It expedited patient management, negated the need to transfer patients for X-rays and minimised the risk of cross-infection​.
  • Upgraded our floor-mounted X-ray at St Luke's Hospital to a ceiling-suspended system, which provided more screening flexibility as X-ray tests could be conducted directly on a trolley bed w​ithout transferring the patient to the X-ray table.

    • ​​Converting ​our Mobile BMD trailer to a Mobile X-ray trailer in a record 12 days
    • Designing and building two new Mobile X-ray containers in collaboration with Temasek Foundation. They were the first in Singapore to be equipped with a Negative Pressure System (NPS).
