About District mHealth

District mHealth is the mobile health arm of District Family Clinics, a Singapore primary care group founded to recapture the comforting familiarity of the trusted neighbourhood family clinic — now paired with tech-powered efficiency and friendly staff. From its Bukit Merah base, District mHealth brings that care directly to patients: teleconsultations are available daily from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM, while home nursing and medical services reach home-bound and nursing home residents across the island.

The wider practice covers chronic disease management, childhood and adult vaccinations, health screenings, men's and women's health, travel health and 6ME checks, alongside medico-legal services such as Lasting Power of Attorney certification, Advance Medical Directives and deputyship assessments. Everything is delivered by a multidisciplinary team of doctors, pharmacists and nurses.

District Family Clinics runs six clinics islandwide — Normanton, Bukit Merah, Telok Blangah, Sims, Tampines West and Petir — and has served more than 10,000 patients, earning over 350 five-star Google reviews. The clinics are licensed by Singapore's Ministry of Health (License No. L/24M1684/MDS/001/242).

District mHealth: Teleconsultations & Home Healthcare from District Family Clinics, Bukit Merah

District mHealth is the mobile health arm of District Family Clinics, a Singapore primary care group with a distinctly personal founding story. The group was born from a desire to bring back the warmth, trust and personal connection of the traditional neighbourhood clinic — those family practices where patients felt seen, heard and cared for. As healthcare grew increasingly corporate, the founders set out to preserve that community spirit while embracing modern efficiency, tech-powered systems and friendly staff. District mHealth exists to answer a simple question: what about the patients who cannot easily come to the clinic? Its answer is to bring the clinic to them.

From its base at 133 Jalan Bukit Merah, District mHealth extends the reach of a group that runs six clinics islandwide — Normanton Medical Clinic, Bukit Merah Family Clinic and Telok Blangah Family Clinic in central Singapore, Sims Family Clinic and Tampines West Family Clinic in the east, and Petir Family Clinic in the west. Wherever a patient is, the same multidisciplinary team of doctors, pharmacists and nurses stands behind their care.

Care That Comes to You

The clearest expression of District mHealth's mission is its teleconsultation service. Available daily from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM, teleconsultations let patients get medical advice without leaving home, with appointments booked online through the group's booking system. It is a practical option for busy working adults, caregivers and anyone who would rather not make a trip for a straightforward consultation.

For those who need hands-on care at home, District mHealth coordinates the group's home services, which span nursing services and home medical services, including medico-legal home assessments. This is work the team takes particular pride in: alongside its clinics, District Family Clinics cares for thousands of home-bound and nursing home residents across Singapore, and it commits to delivering the same empathy, diligence and excellence in every setting, whether in clinic, at home or on a video call.

What the Team Can Help With

Chronic disease management is one of the practice's calling cards, described as detailed, holistic and personalised — care built around the individual rather than a template. Health screenings follow the same preventive philosophy: the team believes prevention is better than cure, and its screenings are designed to detect early signs of illness, assess risk factors and support long-term wellbeing.

Vaccinations are available for children and adults alike, from routine immunisations to school, work and travel requirements, along with the 6ME health check that keeps employers of domestic helpers compliant with MOM's medical requirements. Men's and women's health services offer comprehensive check-ups and personalised care at every stage of life, while the travel health service covers everything from pre-trip vaccinations to restocking a travel medication kit.

The clinics also handle medico-legal and care-planning needs that many patients find daunting. Lasting Power of Attorney certification is available at any District Family Clinic, doctors help individuals understand and complete Advance Medical Directives with clarity and care, and the team conducts the Medical and Mental Capacity Assessments and prepares the medical reports required for deputyship applications to Court. Disability and care needs assessments round out the offering, supporting access to suitable services and care planning in Singapore.

The People Behind the Care

Behind District mHealth is the wider District Family Clinics medical team. Dr. Zhao Runfeng, Co-Founder and Medical Director, is a family physician with an MBBS from Singapore and a Master of Medicine in Family Medicine; Dr. Choo Weng Yue serves as Physician Mentor; and Dr. Wong Sook Yee is among the physicians serving Bukit Merah Family Clinic. Collectively, the doctors hold graduate diplomas in family medicine and mental health, and between them consult in English, Mandarin, Hokkien, Cantonese, Malay and Teochew — a quiet nod to the neighbourhoods they serve.

The group's track record speaks plainly: more than 10,000 patients served, over 350 five-star Google reviews, and MOH licensing (License No. L/24M1684/MDS/001/242).

Booking a Consultation

Teleconsultations through District mHealth can be booked online any day of the week, with slots available from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM. Home nursing and medical services are arranged through the group's home services team, and in-person care is available at any of the six clinics, including Bukit Merah Family Clinic nearby. Whether the consultation happens over video, at home or in clinic, the idea remains the same: trusted care, right in your neighbourhood.
