Health & Medical

Finding your way around a new healthcare system can feel daunting, but Singapore makes it easier once you know the basics. This section helps expats and their families find the right care, from everyday check-ups to the unexpected.

Here you'll find:

• How to find a GP or family doctor, and when you might need a specialist
• Tips on choosing a dentist and other everyday care
• Public and private hospitals in general terms, and what to consider when choosing
• What to look for in health insurance as an expat
• Women's and children's health, from pregnancy to paediatric care

In a life-threatening emergency, call 995 for an SCDF emergency ambulance. For anything less urgent, visit a GP or polyclinic.
