Chronic Care in Singapore

Central 24-HR Clinic Group's Chronic Disease Management

Chronic diseases, coupled with the growing aging population in Singapore, presents a significant cause for illness and death in modern times.

Common chronic problems such as diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol and stroke plague about 1 million Singaporeans. These conditions frequently culminate in serious complications when not managed properly.

Often, patients seek treatment only when complications surface and this results in unnecessary suffering of pain and high medical costs. With early detection and good management of these chronic conditions, these complications can be controlled and even avoided.

Ministry of Health has recognized that disease management programmes can be managed at the outpatient level and allows MediSave to help pay for part of the outpatient cost - reducing the direct out of pocket cost for patients.

Some of these diseases include:

  • Diabetes
  • Hypertension, Lipid Disorders (e.g. High Cholesterol) and Stroke
  • Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
  • Major Depression and Schizophrenia
  • Dementia and Bipolar Disorder
  • Osteoarthritis, Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, Anxiety, Parkinson’s Disease and Nephrosis/Nephritis

Please note each claim is subject to 15% co-payment.
