Healthier SG: One Resident, One Family Doctor
In a nutshell, the Healthier SG Programme seeks to motivate residents to enrol under a Primary Care Doctor who will manage their health on a holistic level. This includes management of their physical and mental health, lifestyle habits (such as smoking and diet) and also preventative care. The first visit, which will be free of charge, the Primary Care Doctor will detail a health plan that can include diet & exercise regimen and reinfoice regular health screening and vaccinations required.
When?
Healthier SG will start in the 2nd half of 2023 for those aged 60 and above
How?
When notified by your MOH SMS you may make your appointment with us via your HealthHub App. Residents will get fully subsidised vaccinations and screenings at your enrolled clinic. We are mindful that some residents may have issues using the Healthhub application, or making appointments. We will update with the necessary resources or helpful hotlines when more information is made known to us.
For now:
Our doctors here are Advantage Medical are ready to support Singapore's transition from sick care to preventive care under the guidance of the Ministry of Health (MOH). We will continue to update our practice as they announce more details surrounding subsidies for important health screening and vaccinations.
