Headline News from Channelnewsasia
HOW WILL THIS AFFECT YOU AND/OR YOUR FAMILY ESPECIALLY YOUR ELDERLY FAMILY MEMBERS?
80,000 needy elderly to benefit with expansion of medical subsidy scheme
By Pearl Forss, Channel NewsAsia Posted: 14 December 2008 1710 hrs
The following is an extract from the above Channelnewsasia article.
"SINGAPORE: Come January 2009, some 80,000 senior citizens stand to benefit once a national medical subsidy scheme for needy elderly is expanded to include chronic diseases like diabetes. That's a four-fold jump from the 19,000 who are currently on the Primary Care Partnership Scheme.
Currently, needy elderly registered with the Primary Care Partnership Scheme can get a subsidy when seeing their neighbourhood doctors for acute conditions like coughs and colds.
But for chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol, they'll need to wait their turn in crowded polyclinics to get subsidised care.
But come January, patients with chronic diseases can get an annual subsidy of up to S$360 to see their neighbourhood general practitioners. It is much more convenient than going to the polyclinics, and it also means a more personal relationship with one's doctor.
The Health Ministry said the subsidy will cover about 70 to 90 per cent of their total medication cost, assuming generic drugs are used where possible.
However, for a small group of patients who require many types of drugs, their medicine bills may still cost less in polyclinics than at neighbourhood clinics.
It'll cost the government S$10 million a year but some doctors feel the government should spend more." ... WHY?

Also on 18 July 2008, traditional Malay food will be sold just outside the canteen. Special thanks must be given to our school canteen Stall 7 vendor for the provision of the food items for sale and the Parents Support Group for manning the food stall.
Looking forward to your active participation on Friday 18 July. Come prepared for a day of kaleidoscopic colours and gastronomic treats!
With warm wishes,
