Chronic Conditions

Caring for Your Chronic Medical Conditions

There is an increasing prevalence of chronic diseases in Singapore. Poorly controlled chronic conditions can lead to repeated hospitalizations and debilitating health complications like heart disease, stroke or organ failure.

At Frontier, we are committed to helping you keep your chronic conditions well-controlled, in order to preserve your overall well-being and quality of life.

Our family physicians are experienced in managing a variety of health conditions, including the following:

  • Hypertension
  • High cholesterol
  • Diabetes mellitus
  • Obesity
  • Metabolic Syndrome
  • Fatty liver
  • Chronic hepatitis B
  • Chronic kidney disease
  • Heart disease
  • Thyroid conditions
  • Gout
  • Osteoporosis
  • Chronic obstructive lung disease
  • Asthma
  • Allergic rhinitis
  • Skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis
  • Osteoarthritis

The Frontier Primary Care Network

We believe that a strong multi-disciplinary primary care team can help manage your health better. The Frontier Primary Care Network (PCN) consists of a group of proficient nurses, care coordinators and doctors who will work together to care for your chronic conditions.

Our PCN provides the following services to support patients on follow up with our clinics:

  • Nurse counselling
    • One-to-one counselling sessions with our nurses can help you to understand your chronic medical conditions better
    • Discuss customized adjustments to your diet and lifestyle
    • Revise various techniques like inhaler use, blood sugar monitoring and insulin injection with our nurses
  • Screening for complications of diabetes
    • Eye screening
      • High sugar levels can damage the small blood vessels in the retina
      • Yearly screening of the eye can pick up complications in the retina before symptoms like blurred vision or loss of vision arise
    • Foot screening
      • High sugar levels can damage the nerve endings and small blood vessels in the feet
      • Yearly examination of the feet can pick up these complications before they lead to further problems like diabetic foot ulcers or gangrene
  • Spirometry testing
    • Spirometry is a lung function test for the diagnosis and monitoring of lung conditions like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
    • Consult your family doctor if you have symptoms of breathlessness, wheezing or long-standing cough to find out if you would benefit from spirometry testing

At Frontier, our focus is on empowering you to manage your chronic conditions well and to prevent disease complications. We hope to work closely with you to develop a treatment plan best suited to your needs.
