The Singhealth polyclinic at Tampines re-opened on Wednesday, five months after it shut its doors for renovation works.

Packed with patients on Day 1, the revamped polyclinic now has a colourful new facade, more consultation rooms, and larger waiting areas.

When the polyclinic was closed in late January for renovation, patients had to take a 15-minute shuttle bus ride from Tampines MRT station to its temporary clinic at 21 Geylang East Central, beside the SingHealth polyclinic at Geylang.

The Tampines polyclinic serves an estimated 1,000 residents living in the vicinity.
