Raffles Internal Medicine Centre at Raffles Specialist Centre, Bugis, is part of Raffles Medical Group, offering prevention, diagnosis and treatment across a wide range of medical sub-specialties. The centre's focus is on caring for patients as a whole, personalising care and treatment according to each individual's needs.
The centre covers five core areas: gastroenterology (including endoscopy, capsule endoscopy, bowel diseases, gastritis, GERD and liver diseases), geriatric medicine (covering ageing problems, lipid disorders, diabetes mellitus, dementia, falls and hypertension), nephrology (kidney disorders and renal transplantation), rheumatology and allergy (joint pain and arthritis, connective tissue diseases, osteoporosis, pain syndromes, allergy testing and office procedures like joint injections), and pulmonology (airway disease, asthma, bronchoscopy, lung issues and sleep studies).
A notable offering is the Home-Based Skin Prick Test, which extends allergy testing to the comfort of a patient's home — an allergy nurse conducts the test, shares insights on the results, and follows up with additional care if needed. Located on Level 9 of Raffles Specialist Centre, the Bugis clinic is open Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 6pm, and Saturday from 8.30am to 1pm.
Raffles Internal Medicine Centre at Raffles Specialist Centre in Bugis offers prevention, diagnosis and treatment across a broad range of medical sub-specialties, as part of Raffles Medical Group. The centre's approach centres on caring for patients as a whole, with treatment personalised to each individual's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all model.
The centre's gastroenterology services cover a wide range of digestive concerns, including capsule endoscopy and standard endoscopy for diagnostic purposes, treatment for functional and irritable bowel diseases, gastritis, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and liver diseases. These services support patients dealing with everything from everyday digestive discomfort to more complex gastrointestinal conditions.
For older patients, the centre's geriatric medicine service addresses ageing-related problems, lipid disorders, diabetes mellitus, dementia, falls, and hypertension — conditions that often require coordinated, ongoing management rather than a single visit. The nephrology service supports patients with kidney disorders, including care related to renal transplantation.
Raffles Internal Medicine Centre's rheumatology and allergy service is one of its broadest offerings, covering joint pain and arthritis (including rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis and crystal arthritis), connective tissue diseases such as lupus and Sjogren's, general rheumatism, osteoporosis, and pain syndromes like myofascial pain and fibromyalgia. The centre also manages allergies — whether triggered by drugs, food or environmental factors — and provides care for anaphylaxis. For patients needing hands-on treatment, the centre offers office procedures including joint injections, joint aspiration, soft tissue injections for conditions like trigger finger, viscosupplementation, and biologics infusions.
One standout service is the Home-Based Skin Prick Test, which brings allergy testing directly to a patient's home. An allergy nurse conducts the skin prick test on-site, shares insights into the results, and follows up with additional care if needed — a genuinely convenient option for patients who might otherwise find it difficult to visit the clinic in person.
Rounding out the centre's specialties, the pulmonology service addresses airway disease, asthma, and lung conditions including cancer and infections, supported by bronchoscopy and sleep studies for patients experiencing respiratory or sleep-related issues.
Located on Level 9 of Raffles Specialist Centre at 585 North Bridge Road, the Bugis clinic is open Monday to Friday from 8.30am to 6pm, and Saturday from 8.30am to 1pm. Patients can book an appointment by phone, WhatsApp, or online enquiry, and can also explore packages such as the Skin Prick Test and Raffles Internal Medicine Treasures for a more comprehensive approach to their care. With such a broad range of specialties under one roof, Raffles Internal Medicine Centre offers patients in Bugis a coordinated, whole-person approach to internal medicine.
