Public Free Clinic Society celebrated its 50th anniversary by donating $1 million to provide “no-cost or low-cost” services to underprivileged groups. This initiative is designed to ensure that people in need, especially those with chronic conditions or long-term healthcare needs, can access Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatment.
Every year, the Public Free Clinic Society will allocate $500,000 to expand its community clinic services, enabling more Singapore residents to receive accessible and affordable healthcare. They also plan to improve service quality and coverage by collaborating with other organizations.
Establishment Background: The Public Free Clinic Society was established in 1974 with the aim of providing TCM services to financially challenged residents. Over the years, the clinic has assisted many residents who couldn’t afford conventional medical services, gradually building a strong reputation and influence within the community.
