Details:
Healthier SG was launched on the 3rd July 2023 with much fanfare.  Since then, more than 700 thousand Singaporeans have signed up with their favourite GPs.   

These would have also done their health plans, Screen for Life and recommended vaccinations.  For some who already contracted chronic diseases would also begin to enjoy subsidized medicines from Feb 2024.

More clinical protocols are expected to roll out this year.  They include asthma, COPD, Mental Health, gout and chronic kidney disease.

How do we as GP optimize these schemes to help our patients?

How do we work with our specialists to deliver the best care at reasonable price to the public?

This talk will attempt to explore the ways we can help our patients and the public in the age of Healthier SG.
