3RD CLINIC AT NEX SHOPPING MALL

We will be opening our 3rd clinic at the upcoming nex - the biggest shopping mall in the north-east of Singapore. The new nex shopping mall is scheduled to open in Dec 2010.

For our 3rd clinic at nex, it will be called OneDoctors Medical Centre. We will be providing Family Medicine consultation services. Just like our other 2 clinics, it will be OPEN DAILY to better serve the needs of our patients in the neighbourhood. An Obstetrics and Gynaecology specialist service will also be available at the medical centre in early 2011.

Our unit is at #01-54/55. We are the unit closest to the main road, Upper Serangoon Road and just next to the MRT entrance at Serangoon Central/Upper Serangoon Rd cross-road junction.

nex is a six-storey mall of 600,000 sq ft and it is bigger than Ang Mo Kio Hub and Junction 8 combined. It is conveniently located at the Serangoon MRT Station Interchange.

CERVICAL CANCER VACCINE

Cervical cancer vaccine is available at our clinic. The course consists of 3 doses over a 6-month period.

The vaccines are currently approved for use in females aged 10 and above. The vaccines protect against infection by Human Papilloma Virus (HPV). It is preferably given before first sexual exposure. Vaccination does not substitute for cervical cancer screening by regular Pap smears for sexually active females. MOH's Expert Committee on Immunisation (ECI) has recommended that HPV vaccines, which are clinically safe and effective, be included into the National Childhood Immunisation Programme (NCIP) for females, in order to prevent cervical cancer.

HFMD

The numbers of Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease (HFMD) cases are still high in Singapore. Actually HFMD cases are seen all year round in Singapore. Every now and then, however, there are outbreaks especially in places like childcare centres, kindergartens and primary schools.

According to the latest MOH figures, there are 732 reported cases of HFMD for the week 37, 12-18 Sept 2010 (compared to 157 in 2009).

HFMD is highly contagious. It is usually spread by direct contact from person to person via body fluids like saliva and nasal discharge, fecal material and fluid from the rash.

The diagnosis of HFMD is usually based on clinical symptoms, which include:

• low-grade fever
• oral ulcers
• rashes in palms, soles or buttocks
• loss of appetite and lethargy
• some may also have mild gastric flu or cough/cold symptoms

*The pictures below are taken from the Health Promotion Board website.*

The child with HFMD is usually not very sick but he should stay 'isolated' at home for 5-7 days even if the symptoms are mild. Very rarely, HFMD can develop complications especially with the EV71 virus. Seek immediate medical attention if the child is vomiting excessively, dehydrated, extremely tired or unusually irritated.

Management of HFMD is usually symptomatic. This includes 'tender loving care' from care-takers. Doctors usually prescribe:

• topical oral medication for the painful ulcers
• fever/pain medications
• anti-inflammation medications to help with recovery
• and rarely antiviral medications for the very sick or immune-suppressed patients
• medical leave for 5-7 days

Hygiene practices are of paramount importance for the infected child, care-takers and family members. Wash hands before meals and after visiting toilets. Do not share eating utensils and toys. Also remember to look out for symptoms among the family members including adults.

Lastly, send the child back to childcare or school only when there are no more:

• fever
• oral ulcers
• rashes.
