Tengah to get first family service centre in 2027; preventive health hub opens in Ang Mo Kio
This will reduce the need for residents to travel outside the new HDB town for support.
Tengah residents will soon benefit from the town's first family service centre and active ageing centre, set to open in mid-2027. These facilities, to be run by Thye Hua Kwan Moral Charities, will provide counselling, casework support and programmes for seniors, reducing the need for residents to travel outside Tengah for essential services. The constituency office did not specify a timeline for the opening of the active ageing centre.
Meanwhile, in the central and northern region of Singapore, NHG Health opened a community-based preventive health hub near Ang Mo Kio Specialist Centre. The new health centre offers selected preventive care assessments and follow-up services, such as colorectal cancer screening, breast health checks and hearing assessments. It also provides travel health consultations and vaccinations, aiming to provide timely care for residents with abnormal screening results or health risks.
Many Ang Mo Kio residents have shown interest in preventative health activities, with nearly 400 seniors undergoing screenings for physical frailty.
