Issues for providing healthcare arise as one in five Singapore residents are predicted to be 65 years old or over by 2030. Healthcare is an important sector in most developed countries, and Singapore has one of the widest varieties of services available at various levels of affordability. The Ministry of Health believes in ensuring quality and affordable basic medical services for all, in conjunction with the promotion of healthy living and preventive health programmes, as well as maintaining high standards of living, clean water and hygiene,to achieve better health for all. Currently Singapore’s healthcare system is designed to ensure that everyone has access to different levels of healthcare in a timely, cost-effective and seamless manner, but there is a general acknowledgement that the capacity of healthcare needs to expand, particularly within the healthcare sector.
