SINGAPORE - More than 1,000 general practitioner (GP) clinics will remain open for those who require medical care over the coming Chinese New Year period from Feb 16 to Feb 18.
Members of the public who need medical assistance can check the GPGoWhere website
The ministry added that would-be patients are advised to make an appointment before going to the clinic.
Those who feel unwell should also seek treatment at the right medical care centres, including:
GP or 24-hour clinics: Those unwell with minor conditions
Hospitals’ accident and emergency department: Those with serious or life-threatening emergencies, including chest pain, breathlessness and uncontrollable bleeding.
Anyone experiencing only minor conditions should avoid calling the 995 hotline to ensure swift treatment for those requiring emergency medical services, added MOH.
Those who need advice on the appropriate medical care centre to visit can call the NurseFirst helpline, which operates daily from 8am to 11pm, on 6262-6262.
