More people are now aware of the importance of preventive health, and how early detection can improve health and even save lives. Regular health screening is part of preventive health and should be a way of life. At Frontier, we understand the growing needs of our patients and have curated additional health screening packages to cater to the needs of different age groups and gender, such as our Premier Male/Female and a Deluxe package for older individuals.

For more details, click on the link https://www.frontierhealthcare.com.sg/services/general-health-screening/ or call the nearest clinics under Frontier Healthcare Group for your health screening appointment.

Everyone is vulnerable to the influenza (flu) virus as it is highly contagious. It can even lead to serious and life-threatening complications like pneumonia or meningitis. That’s why an annual flu vaccination is recommended as a precaution, and even more so for these high-risk individuals:
- those above 65 years old
- children between six months and five years of age
- pregnant women
- patients with chronic illnesses

The flu vaccination is meant for everyone, not only those who are travelling during this season. Be prepared and get vaccinated early. This year’s flu vaccine* is now available at all clinics under Frontier Healthcare Group. Contact us for details and find out if you are eligible to use your Medisave for this vaccination.

With the current haze situation in Singapore, it is important for us to monitor the PSI readings* and take the necessary precautions as we go about our daily lives.

Plan your outing well and whenever possible, minimise outdoor activities, and stay indoors. You can also check the real-time 24-hour PSI and 1-hour PM 2.5 readings on the NEA website "https://www.haze.gov.sg/".

Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated. Persons with existing chronic heart and lung conditions should be more alert and have your medication on hand.

Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any breathing difficulties. This is particularly true for the elderly and young children, and those with chronic heart or lung conditions.

*PSI is an air quality index; the number indicates the level of pollutants, of which PM 2.5 — fine particulate matter with a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometres — is the main pollutant.
