Clementi Polyclinic will be redeveloped at a new site by 2027.

Senior Minister of State for Health Janil Puthucheary announced this during the Committee of Supply debates on Friday, March 5, as part of the government's plans to ensure that the healthcare needs of our general population are met.

Apart from efforts to better support patients’ care needs and provide better care, MOH also said they will continue to enhance affordability while balancing sustainability.

Redeveloped Clementi Polyclinic

The redeveloped polyclinic will continue to provide a comprehensive range of primary care services.

This includes medical treatment for acute conditions, chronic disease management, women’s and children’s health services, as well as radiological, laboratory and pharmacy services.

It will also be more spacious and incorporate more elderly-friendly and accessibility features.

More details of the site will be shared by MOH when ready.

In the meantime, the existing Clementi Polyclinic will continue to serve residents until the new polyclinic is operational.

Clementi Polyclinic is currently one of the oldest polyclinics in Singapore, having been opened in 1980.
