THE revamped Bukit Batok Polyclinic has done away with the paper trail that follows from registration to the pharmacy.

It is the first polyclinic here to go paperless with its digital paper records, cutting down on waiting time for patients.

The polyclinic, which was re-opened by health minister Khaw Boon Wan on Thursday after a three-month renovation, now also boasts a larger pharmacy waiting area and additional diagnostic centre.
