Our Values

  Our paramount concern is the welfare and well-being of our fellow human beings. We sympathise with those struck with illness and suffering and will do our best to help alleviate their condition.
  
• Professionalism
  We are committed to being the best in what we do and achieving the best possible outcome for our patients.
  
• Respect
  We treat everyone with honesty, decency and fairness.
  
• Collegiality
  We nurture success by promoting collaboration, participation and trust between individuals and other healthcare organisations, within an environment of sharing and mutual respect.
  
• Social Responsibility
  We contribute positively to the well-being of the community.

We established the Health Promotion & Preventive Care (HPPC) division that focuses on caring for people in the pre-illness segment of the healthcare continuum.  Its objective is to promote a healthy lifestyle and prevent disease through health education. We hope to achieve this objective by offering health-screening services and targeted post-screening programmes for those found to have health issues and significant risk factors.

Logo Rationale

The NHG Polyclinics' logo imparts our vision and service values.

The logo portrays an individual springing forward into a future filled with healthy years and a good quality of life. In tow of the individual are the members of his/her family, which conceptually can be extended to the community, moving forward to a future of health and happiness. This enshrines the core business of NHG Polyclinics, which is in family and community healthcare, encompassing a major element of preventive healthcare to help individuals achieve and maintain good health.

They emerge from a glowing sun, symbolised by a rich orange eclipse, typifying energy and strength, to support their move forward into the blue sky and towards a good state of health.

This at the same time endorses corporate branding, through the corporate colours of National Healthcare Group.
