The websites of the SingHealth and National Healthcare groups – under which all polyclinics in Singapore come under – were also inaccessible.
So far, the mobile phone apps of the hospitals were still usable. The HealthHub website and those of private hospitals in Singapore, however, appeared unaffected.
The Straits Times has contacted the hospitals, healthcare groups, the Health Ministry and IMDA for more information.
This is a developing story.
