MEDIA ALERTPARKWAY SHENTON LAUNCHES RE-EMPLOYMENT CHECK-UP PROGRAMME FOR EMPLOYEES AGED OVER 62

Singapore, 7 September 2011 – Parkway Shenton has launched the Parkway Re- Employment (“PREact”) Check-Up programme offering employers one of the most comprehensive range of re-employment medical tests available in Singapore. Examinations are conducted at all Parkway Shenton clinics islandwide by experienced healthcare professionals.

As one of the leading healthcare services provider, Parkway Shenton is committed to providing healthcare services in line with the government's initiatives so as to provide seamless service to our existing corporate clients.

PREact is another innovative initiative by Parkway Shenton, and was conceived ahead of the new provisions in the Retirement and Re-employment Act to be implemented in January 2012. The changes will require all Singapore companies to re-employ eligible employees who are 62 years old and above on or after 1 January 2012.

Prior to offering re-employment contracts to such employees, objective assessments of potential employees’ medical fitness in relation to job requirements will need to be conducted. PREact Check-Up programme aims to fulfil the requirements in the updated Retirement and Re-employment Act.

Dr Chai Chin Yoong, Chief Executive Officer of Parkway Shenton said, “With the introduction of PREact, Parkway Shenton is now able to provide health screening packages which can do customised tests based on job profile, and provide fast turnaround time for detailed and individualised medical reports. PREact offers employers a simple and cost- effective re-employment package for their employees, providing them with a meaningful and relevant healthcare experience.”

Parkway Shenton’s PREact medical examination package can be tailored to match employee age and work profile, and additional tests can be conducted, such as audiometry, for industries that require more specific tests for employees.
