SINGAPORE: While vending machines are a common sight at HDB void decks, the one at Block 536 Serangoon North Avenue 4 is slightly different from the others.
When CNA checked it out last Tuesday , it had nearly 70 different types of pharmaceutical products listed on its digital catalogue, out of which two were sold out – lozenges and pills for diarrhoea relief.The machine carries nearly 70 different types of pharmaceutical products ranging from cold and flu relief to medical plasters.
While this reporter did not see anyone using the vending machine when she was there, Essentials Pharmacy’s general manager Simone Tan said there are five to 10 transactions a day on average. In March, the company partnered healthcare group Minmed to launch a telemedicine clinic at the Singapore University of Technology and Design that is equipped with a dispensing machine where users can collect prescribed drugs.
SmartRx’s managing director Tong Ping Heng said its vending machines only dispense prescription drugs after users have consulted a doctor.
