New health screening centre by Healthway Medical

Healthway Medical Corporation is set to open Healthway Screening @ Downtown at Downtown Gallery in the second half of this year. It is primed to offer all the preventive healthcare measures you need right in Singapore's Central Business District.

The new centre is designed to streamline the health screening process by ensuring that efficiency and comfort are top priorities in engaging with patients.

Dr Khor Chin Kee, chief executive officer of Healthway Medical, says: "The centre will focus on the experience, which includes the physical environment and how the services is going to be rendered, from the booking of appointments, to the actual screening at the centre and after the screening is done.

"It will have the feel of an airplane's business class cabin, and service will be very personal."

The centre will feature health screening pods that enable patients to relax in comfort as they receive their necessary health screening procedures in a single private location.

This convenient feature minimises the need for them to move from station to station, while still allowing them access to a comprehensive list of health screening offerings.

Putting patients as a top priority

The new launch of the centre comes at a time when more people are becoming increasingly health-conscious - developing a more positive attitude and interest towards health screening and the Ministry of Health's focus on preventive healthcare.

As such, Healthway Medical is stepping up to meet the demand by adding to its portfolio of healthcare offerings.

Since its inception in 1990, it has remained true to its mission of providing accessible, affordable and quality medical services to the public.

Today, the private healthcare provider has a network of clinics and medical centres in Singapore. It owns, operates and manages over 100 clinics and medical centres all over the island.

Dr Khor says: "Our original vision was to have a wide network of General Practitioner (GP) clinics in Singapore. Today, it has morphed into a group that not only has a network of GP clinics, but also has a suite of services consisting of dental, adult specialist, paediatric and allied health clinics."

Healthway Medical has since branched out from its roots in primary healthcare to offer an extended range of services in various specialist disciplines such as orthopaedics, cardiology, general surgery, ophthalmology, otorhinolaryngology, psychological wellness and psychiatry, specialist dentistry, paediatrics and child development, obstetrics and gynaecology.

Its growth has since enabled its team of healthcare professionals to continue to provide quality treatment and management of its patients by taking a holistic approach to improving the well-being of their patients.

On top of addressing their primary healthcare symptoms and issues, the doctors also take into account their patients' psychological health, social support, home environment and lifestyle in their patient-centric approach to healthcare.
