At Healthway Medical, we provide several COVID-19 tests to assess and mitigate the spread of the virus.

From 1st April 2023, in line with MOH’s announcement, the provision of government-funded COVID-19 testing (ART, PCR) will be deactivated. Our clinics will continue to provide self-paid COVID-19 testing (ART, PCR) for patients who require this service.
