Singapore expands Mobile Inpatient Care @ Home for acute care

The country has over 11,000 public hospital beds, with more than 4,000 to be added by 2030.

Singapore’s Ministry of Health (MOH) broadened the Mobile Inpatient Care @ Home (MIC@Home) programme to provide hospital-level acute care and support in patients’ homes.

The expansion includes the improvement of rehabilitative care, community-based mental health, investment in healthcare infrastructure, and an increase in hospital capacity through more beds and manpower.

From the current number of more than 11,000 public hospital beds, the MOH has set to expand hospital capacity with over 4,000 beds up until 2030.

As for facilities, MOH has planned to construct a new not-for-profit private hospital and a new integrated general and community hospital in Tengah Town. Meanwhile, five Transitional Care Facilities (TCFs) are offering over 700 beds to medically stable patients from the public healthcare institutions (PHIs).

Singapore’s polyclinic network will also expand to 322 facilities by 2030, consisting of both new and redeveloped polyclinics.

Moreover, the new additions to MIC@Home will help contribute to mental health care delivery towards the community, expand the 2023 Tiered Care Model, and assist practitioners through the National Mental Health Competency Training Framework for community-based care.

Currently, there are over 10 public acute hospitals and 25 polyclinics in Singapore.
