04.08.2012 - Joint outreach with Agency for Integrated Care (AIC)
Together with the Agency for Integrated Care (http://www.aic.sg/), Paya Lebar Division of Aljunied Committee Constituency organised an outreach to residents living in the vicinity of Blk 17 Hougang Ave 3, to help to promote awareness of two programmes from AIC.The two programmes are: Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS - http://www.chas.sg/) and Senior's Mobility Fund (SMF - http://www,aic.sg/SMF/). CHAS is one of Ministry of Health's programmes to help provide accessible and affordable primary health care to Singaporeans. Eligible Singaporeans will be able to receive subsidised outpatient treatments for acute and chronic conditions as well as basic dental services at General Practitioners and dental clinics that participate in the scheme. The SMF is a fund set up with the aim of assisting the elderly in getting subsidised mobility devices to help them move around their home and community, and to perform their daily activities.Our volunteers set out in groups to go house-to-house to explain the schemes to residents living in the surrounding blocks, and eligible residents are encouraged to approach the volunteers stationed at the void deck of Blk 17 for assistance in applying for the schemes. Working along-side officers from AIC, our volunteers at the registration desk helped the elderly residents fill-up the forms, with much appreciation from residents.
