W Medical is a family medicine clinic at Block 365 Sembawang Crescent, Singapore, run by Dr Gan Wei Lin. Dr Gan holds an MBBS from the University of Melbourne, a Graduate Diploma in Family Medicine from Singapore, and a Post-Graduate Diploma in Clinical Dermatology from Queen Mary University of London. She worked in metropolitan Melbourne hospitals before returning to Singapore, where she practised across the public sector at NUH, TTSH, KTPH, the National Skin Centre, Ren Ci Community Hospital and National Healthcare Group Polyclinics, before moving into private practice.
Dr Gan's day-to-day focus is Family Medicine and General Practice, treating patients from newborns to the elderly, alongside preventive healthcare through vaccinations and health screenings. As a mother herself, she has a particular interest in baby vaccinations and child development checks, which are fully subsidised by the government.
W Medical's services span health screenings, HealthierSG (fully subsidised for Singaporeans aged 40 and above), vaccinations for both children and adults (including Gardasil-9 and flu vaccines), chronic disease management for diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure, treatment of skin conditions such as acne, eczema and psoriasis, women's health services including Pap smears and HPV DNA testing, and medical examinations for work permits, driving licence renewals and overseas study. The clinic accepts Baby Bonus, MediSave, CHAS and Pioneer Generation schemes.
At Block 365 Sembawang Crescent, W Medical is a family medicine clinic built around one doctor's broad clinical background and a focus on preventive care for patients of every age.
Dr Gan Wei Lin trained at the University of Melbourne for her Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery, before going on to complete a Graduate Diploma in Family Medicine in Singapore and a Post-Graduate Diploma in Clinical Dermatology from Queen Mary University of London. Her career took her through metropolitan hospitals in Melbourne, then back to Singapore's public healthcare system, where she gained experience across NUH, TTSH, KTPH, the National Skin Centre, Ren Ci Community Hospital and National Healthcare Group Polyclinics, before moving into private practice.
That range shows in how she practises today. Dr Gan focuses on Family Medicine and General Practice, treating a wide variety of conditions across all ages - from newborn babies to elderly patients - and pairs that with a strong interest in preventive healthcare through vaccinations and health screenings.
As a mother herself, Dr Gan has a particular interest in keeping young children healthy, administering baby vaccinations and childhood development checks, both of which are fully subsidised by the government. For adults aged 40 and above, the clinic also offers HealthierSG, a fully subsidised preventive health programme, alongside Screen for Life screenings and general health screening packages available to download from the clinic's website.
W Medical's service list runs well beyond general consultations. The clinic manages chronic conditions like diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure, and - drawing on Dr Gan's dermatology training - treats skin conditions including acne, eczema and psoriasis. Minor procedures such as ear syringing and wound cleaning and dressing are handled in-house, and adult vaccinations extend to the Gardasil-9 vaccine for cervical cancer prevention and flu vaccinations, some of which are subsidised depending on age group.
Women's health services include Pap smears, HPV DNA testing (performed by a female doctor), emergency contraception and pregnancy testing. The clinic also handles a range of practical medical examinations - for maids and foreign workers, work permit applications, employment checks, driving licence renewals, insurance medical checks, Outward Bound School clearance and overseas study requirements.
Reviews left for W Medical describe Dr Gan as precise, detailed and warm, with more than one patient noting that she personally called to follow up on how they were recovering - a level of care that stood out enough to be mentioned specifically in feedback about managing asthma during pregnancy.
W Medical accepts Baby Bonus, MediSave, CHAS and Pioneer Generation schemes, making many of its services more accessible for eligible patients. The clinic is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 1pm and 2pm to 5pm, and Saturday from 9am to 1pm, closed on Sundays and public holidays. From Sembawang MRT, it's reachable by taking bus 962 for three stops, or by walking roughly 8 to 10 minutes, with a bus stop located behind Sun Plaza near KFC. Appointments are encouraged to help manage patient flow.
