If you need to get to the nearest hospital or clinic or if you want to find an emergency room with the shortest queue, there's an app for that.
The Ministry of Health has just made iHealth Sg available for free on Apple's App Store. Developed by 2359 Media, the app, probably the first government iPhone app, is a comprehensive guide to GP clinics, polyclinics, hospitals, laboratories and nursing homes in Singapore.
You can search for a clinic or hospital nearby using the iPhone's GPS ability.
Pick a facility and it will give you its address and phone number. You can also locate it on the map. By far the coolest feature though is the ability to check out the queue at polyclinics or hospital by viewing the waiting room webcams.
Clinics which have been registered as Pandemic Preparedness Clinics have also been marked out. These are special clinics that people with flu-like symptoms should go to for assessment when the H1N1 situation reaches the mitigation phase following the sustained community transmission.
