Singapore’s healthcare system is widely regarded as one of the best among developed nations. As healthcare needs become more complex and the population ages, the role of primary care continues to evolve.

Over the past three years, the introduction of the Healthier SG programme has placed renewed emphasis on preventive care and population health. Within this framework, primary care plays an important role in supporting the broader healthcare system’s shift towards more coordinated, community-based, and population-oriented models of care. As these changes unfold, the expectations placed on both public and private primary care providers are expanding.

It remains early to determine how these reforms will ultimately reshape Singapore’s primary care landscape in the post-Healthier SG era.

This symposium brings together perspectives from public policy, the public healthcare cluster, and private primary care supported by a healthcare co-operative. Together, the speakers will explore the opportunities, challenges, and practical realities shaping the future of primary care in Singapore.
