Medication Collection Modes

For your convenience, various methods of ordering and collecting your medications are available. 

 

Medication Delivery Service

The Medication Delivery Service by CGH offers patients convenient alternatives to in-person medication collection. Skip the queue at the pharmacy and have your prescribed medications delivered to your doorstep.

Your medicines can be delivered to your doorstep if:
  • You have a valid CGH prescription, with balance medicines to be collected.
  • Your prescription does not include Controlled Drugs or Sample Drugs.
  • The prescription is within one year from the date of issue (e.g. If you wish to have your medicines delivered on 5 March 2024, the prescription must be dated 5 March 2023 or later.)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

 

Medication Delivery Service

The Medication Delivery Service is only applicable to CGH prescriptions.

Order amendments or cancellations that are submitted within 3 working days before the confirmed delivery date may be subject to additional charges.

A valid CGH prescription is required for the medicine order to be processed. If you do not have one or if you need a new prescription, kindly submit your request through the Health Buddy app.

How to submit your request:
  1. On the Health Buddy app, click into “Login All”. Under “For you”, select “Order Medicines”.
  2. Select the institution that prescribed your prescription, click on “Submit Order Request” and enter your personal particulars.
  3. In the prescription description, click on the blue underlined “here” and click “Proceed”.
  4. Ensure your personal particulars are correct again before clicking “Next”.
  5. Choose the clinic from the dropdown menu and fill in the details of your required medications.
  6. Select your preferred payment method and mode of medication collection.

If you are not able to receive the medicines in person, you can appoint someone who is at least 18 years old to receive the medicines on your behalf.

You can place a delivery order for the balance of your medicines via the Health Buddy app. Please place your orders at least one week before your medicines are due to run out.

You may request for a top-up of your prescription via the Health Buddy app. Please note that your request is subject to your doctor's assessment.

Payment

Approved third party payors are accepted for payment of medicines, although delivery amendment or cancellation charges will be borne by you. Please ensure your medical benefit card is valid before placing an order for delivery, otherwise any outstanding payment will be borne by you.

Cash on delivery is not an accepted mode of payment. We highly encourage cashless payment. 

MediSave is an accepted mode of payment. Please ensure that there is sufficient balance for deduction. Please note that any outstanding amount not covered by MediSave will be borne by you.
