Polyclinic Or PD

Can we bring our LO to polyclinic if they are unwell? Or must it be PD?

PD has more medicines for kids… While polyclinic gives standard ones… It all depends on you mommy. I have seen PD charging extras than some GP/polyclinics but gave my child “possible” diagnosis and not a accurate one which almost freaks me out.

Polyclinic is fine but Hospital is recommended. because polyclinic doesnt have complete things. such as x-ray and stuffs. I send my daughter to the polyclinic for backbone check and they refer me to KKH because no x-ray scan in clinics.

PS. Normal sickness can go polyclinic but if fever, sore eyes and vomiting etc for babies... go straight KKH. For rashes, normal kind of thing polyclinic is ok.

Can bring to polyclinic if you can wait. High fever they will put you priority. If really serious then to gp faster.

Yes. You can bring your LO to the polyclinic but if the condition is severe please proceed to KKH
