At Parkway Shenton, we believe that quality healthcare should be accessible and affordable. Our clinics are accredited under CHAS and MediSave and provide subsidised care such as free health screenings, vaccinations, and chronic disease management.
We also support various healthcare schemes by the Ministry of Health Singapore (MOH), including Screen for Life and Healthier SG.

Pioneer Generation (PG) and Merdeka Generation (MG) packages
The PG and MG packages promote active ageing and healthy living for seniors who have contributed to our national development over the years.
