Personalised Care from Family Doctors

Dedicated Family Doctor

You will connect with your chosen family doctor who knows your medical history well. This doctor will understand your health needs and help you manage your health effectively.

Tailored Health Plans

Your doctor will create a health plan just for you. This plan will include:

  • Lifestyle Adjustments: Simple changes in your daily routine like diet and exercise tips to improve your health. You may be advised to reduce unhealthy food intake.
  • Regular Health Screenings: Regular check-ups to catch any health issues early before they become serious.
  • Necessary Vaccinations: Ensuring you are up-to-date with vaccinations to protect you from common diseases.

Focus on Preventive Care

Regular Screenings

Regular health check-ups are like routine maintenance for your car. They help catch any potential problems early. For example, regular blood pressure checks can help detect hypertension early, which can prevent heart disease and stroke later.

Vaccinations

Vaccinations act as a shield that protects you from getting sick. By getting timely vaccinations, you can avoid common diseases like the flu, pneumonia, and more. This keeps you healthy and reduces the risk of serious illness later that may require hospitalisation.

Community Support and Activities

Health Programs

You can join various community activities and programs that promote healthy living organised by partners like the People's Association, Health Promotion Board, and Sport Singapore. For example, you might find exercise classes like brisk walking, health talks, and wellness workshops in your neighbourhood community club. These programs make it fun and easy to stay healthy!

Healthy 365 (H365) App

The H365 app helps you track your health. It is available in all four national languages, so you can use it comfortably. The app can connect with other health apps and devices, like fitness trackers, to give you an overview of your health metrics such as steps and sleep.

National Enrolment

Commitment to Health

By enrolling in the national program, you commit to having a family doctor and following a health plan. This ensures you receive continuous and coordinated care. It is like having a personal health coach who guides you every step of the way. This commitment helps you stay on track with your health goals and makes it easier to manage any chronic conditions like diabetes.

HealthHub and Healthy 365

These apps will be enhanced to serve as the main digital platforms for Healthier SG. HealthHub will allow you to access your health plan and track health outcomes, while Healthy 365 will help you monitor physical activities and participate in community activities.

Financial Support

Subsidies and Waivers

Nationally recommended screenings and vaccinations will be fully subsidised for Singapore Citizens. Additionally, the requirement to co-pay part of the bills in cash when using MediSave for chronic care management will be waived. This provides financial support. View more information here.

CHAS Drug Subsidy

A new subsidy tier under the Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS) will make chronic disease management drugs more affordable at private GP clinics, comparable to polyclinic prices.

Health Points System

Residents can earn rewards for enrolling in Healthier SG, completing their first consultation with their family doctor, and leading active and healthy lifestyles. Rewards like $20 worth of health points may be provided.
