GP & Family Clinics in Singapore

What a GP and family clinic treats

General practitioners are the first point of contact for most health needs. They manage acute illnesses such as coughs, fevers, infections and minor injuries, and provide ongoing care for chronic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. GPs also offer health screening, vaccinations, travel medicine, women’s and men’s health, mental-health support and referrals to specialists when needed. A family clinic can care for all ages and keep a continuous record of your health. Consider registering with a regular GP for preventive care and a trusted point of contact, rather than only seeking help when unwell.

How to choose a GP clinic in Singapore

• Check that the clinic is MOH-licensed and that doctors are registered with the SMC.
• Look at whether the clinic supports CHAS subsidies, MediSave for eligible chronic care, and the Healthier SG programme.
• Consider location, opening hours, language, and whether you can see the same doctor for continuity.

Getting there

GP and family clinics are spread across the whole island, in neighbourhood centres, malls and the central districts near Orchard and Novena MRT, while polyclinics provide subsidised primary care in each region. Check each clinic’s own address, nearest MRT and parking, and confirm opening hours, as many offer evening or weekend sessions.

Costs and financing

GP consultations are often paid out of pocket, but CHAS cardholders can receive subsidies at participating clinics, and polyclinics offer subsidised care. MediSave may be used for eligible chronic disease management within set limits, and Healthier SG enrolment can support ongoing preventive care. Confirm fees and which schemes a clinic accepts before your visit.

Common questions

What is Healthier SG?

Healthier SG is a national programme encouraging residents to enrol with a regular family doctor for preventive and long-term care. Ask your clinic if it participates.

Can I use my CHAS card here?

Many GP clinics accept CHAS for subsidised consultations. Check that the clinic is a participating provider and bring your card.

When should a GP refer me to a specialist?

GPs refer when a condition needs specialist assessment or procedures, and a referral can also help with subsidies in the public system.
