Other services included COVID-19 vaccinations, knee osteoarthritis screening, resuscitation training and visual acuity tests. The residents were also educated on prevention and control of communicable diseases including AIDS and sexually transmitted diseases. Officers were on hand to give advice on job placements. People could also get free haircuts. The Government Saving Bank gave advice on financial affairs. Other related services included sterilization and rabies vaccination for dogs and cats.
