Healthier SG for Your Medical Benefits
Healthier SG represents a comprehensive initiative aimed at reshaping Singapore’s healthcare system towards preventive healthcare, empowering residents to stay healthy, identify health concerns at an early stage, and effectively manage any existing conditions. The strategy emphasizes a collaborative effort involving trusted family clinics and community partners to support individuals throughout their healthcare journey.
Eligibility for Healthier SG extends to Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents with a phased rollout targeting those most needing medical care or suffering from chronic illnesses.
The Ministry of Health (MOH) is progressively inviting individuals aged 60 and above, followed by those aged 40 to 59, through SMS notifications to enrol in a Healthier SG clinic or polyclinic.
Enrolees with chronic conditions covered under the Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP) and holding CHAS/Merdeka Generation/Pioneer Generation cards, have the option to access the Healthier SG Chronic Tier. This tier facilitates access to commonly prescribed chronic medications at rates comparable to those offered at polyclinics.
