Community Nursing Services for Women and Children

Parents often worry about their child’s development, and whether they are “doing the right thing” to manage their child’s health. Our friendly SingHealth Community Nurses are stationed conveniently in Our Tampines Hub to address parents’ queries and concerns.

What can Community Nurses do for you?

Commmunity Nurses provide the following services for families and children:

Children's Health

• Growth, development and nutrition support
• Oral health screening and education
• Nurse counselling on common childhood illnesses, allergies, hygiene and child safety
• Health coaching and lifestyle counselling

Women's Health

• Family planning and preconception health support
• Support for common health conditions and chronic diseases during pregnancy
• Postnatal physical recovery and mental wellness screening
• Breastfeeding and lactation support
• Health coaching and lifestyle counselling 

If required, Community Nurses will refer you to see a doctor or link you to other community care providers, so that you can get the most appropriate care.

These services are currently fully subsidised and will be provided at no cost if you are found suitable.

Our services are designed for:

• Women aged 21 years old and above; and/or
