Hi everyone, thanks for reading. I have a question: If you have a problem like dandruff or Urinary incontinence, can you to visit the local polyclinic for a diagnosis and maybe a referral? Thanks for answering in advance!
Yes, when u see the doctor say you request a referral to a specialist.
During the visit the doctor will do some physical examination and write a short report/findings, after which he/she will put the letter into an envelope.
If im not wrong you can make payment for the consultation and go home, the appointment department will call you with regards to your hospital appointment
If you go through polyclinic you are considered a subsidised patient.
i encountered your issues before and went through the polyclinic to get subsided rates. Of course if you walk in to a specialist in the hospitals, its faster but expensive.
Thanks haha! The referrals are to govt subsidised hospitals right?
