This Museum documents the history of modern medical care in Singapore from 1819 with the arrival of Sir Stamford Raffles and has a display of more than 100 artefacts from the past like the travelling baby weighing machine, forceps, foetal scope etc.
From a network of Maternal and Child Health (MCH) clinics, Outpatient Dispensaries (OPDs) in the late 19th century to the Polyclinics' acknowledged position as a leader in the first line of healthcare provision today, the NHG Polyclinics' (NHGP) Gallery of Memories chronicles the rise of primary healthcare in Singapore.

Highlights:

Be moved by the struggles of ordinary men and women faced with

healthy Singaporeans. |

Be amazed by the major transformation in primary health services - from
the small scattered Outpatient Dispensaries, Travelling Dispensaries,
Domicilliary Delivery Services and Maternal and Child Health Clinics of
the past, to the large modern Polyclinics of today. |
