Ministry of Health (MOH)
The Ministry of Health‘s mission is to be an innovative and people-centred organisation to promote good health and reduce illness, ensure that Singaporeans have access to good and affordable healthcare that is appropriate to needs, and to pursue medical excellence.
Through MOH, the Government manages the public healthcare system to ensure that good and affordable basic medical services are available to all Singaporeans. We achieve this through providing subsidised medical services while promoting individual responsibility for the costs of healthcare services. Our population is thus encouraged to adopt a healthy lifestyle, taking responsibility for one’s own health. Safety nets are provided however, to ensure that no Singaporean is denied access into the healthcare system or turned away by public hospitals because of lack of money.
MOH also licenses and regulates all healthcare establishments such as hospitals, nursing homes, clinical laboratories, medical and dental clinics. The public healthcare delivery system is geographically structured as two vertically integrated delivery networks, National Healthcare Group (NHG) and Singapore Health Services (SHS).
