News

The Jurong Branch Clinic will be undergoing renovations from 16/12/2024 to 12/02/2025 and will be temporarily closed.

Singapore Buddhist Free Clinic (SBFC), established 55 years ago, has consistently provided services with a spirit of selfless dedication. Over the years, we have continuously refined our governance mechanisms to ensure that all tasks are carried out conscientiously and responsibly. This commitment has earned SBFC the trust of the public.

【Charity Transparency Award】, an initiative by the Charity Council, highlights the government’s emphasis on accountability and transparency in the charity sector. Charitable organisations, as beneficiaries of the public’s generous contributions, should openly disclose their governance practices and management procedures, embracing public scrutiny.

Keeping pace with the changing times, SBFC has progressively transformed its operations by enhancing its governance framework and adopting a corporate management model. We are deeply honoured to receive the Charity Transparency Dedication Award on 14 November 2024. This official recognition is a morale booster to us. We remain steadfast in our commitment to implementing exemplary governance practices, preserving this accolade, and upholding the trust and expectations of the public with unwavering dedication.

Make a Difference Today: Support SBFC!

Join us in celebrating our 55th anniversary by making a meaningful contribution. Your support helps us continue our mission and impact.
