SINGAPORE: The locations of the soon-to-be-redeveloped Clementi Polyclinic and a new polyclinic in Taman Jurong were announced by the Ministry of Health on Wednesday (Jun 1)
The current polyclinic at Clementi will be redeveloped at a vacant site along Commonwealth Avenue West, 650m away from the existing location, said MOH.
It will be about 250m, or a five minute walk, from Clementi MRT station, added MOH.
The standalone development will be ready by 2027, as previously announced.
“Once redeveloped, the polyclinic will be more spacious and incorporate more elderly-friendly and accessibility features for the convenience of the patients,” said MOH.
The existing Clementi Polyclinic will continue to serve residents till the new clinic is operational, added the ministry.
