Not only will the screenings be made more accessible to seniors, it will also be more affordable - $2 to test for diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and obesity, compared to $30 at private clinics.
The programme was kicked off at the Whampoa neighbourhood on Saturday, where 150 residents registered to be screened.
Besides the chronic conditions, they can also be tested for three cancers - breast, cervical and colorectal.
Screenings for breast and cervical cancer cost $30 and $10 respectively, while the test for colorectal cancer is free.
