SingHealth Polyclinics

What SingHealth Polyclinics does

SingHealth Polyclinics is the primary care arm of Singapore's SingHealth public healthcare cluster, operating a network of ten polyclinics distributed across eastern and southern Singapore (Bedok, Bukit Merah, Eunos, Marine Parade, Outram, Pasir Ris, Punggol, Sengkang, Tampines, and Tampines North). It provides subsidised primary healthcare services including general medical consultations, chronic disease management, preventive care under the national Healthier SG framework, childhood and adult vaccinations, dental services, maternal and child health through the Integrated Maternal and Child Wellness Hub, and allied health services spanning dietetics, physiotherapy, podiatry, diagnostic radiology, and medical social work.

The institution's product stack combines in-person polyclinic visits with a growing digital layer: the SPARKI 24/7 AI-powered patient assistant chatbot, the Health Buddy mobile application for appointment and medication management, an e-services portal with SPEED Pay, video consultation across general, chronic, and family-planning use cases, and the Medication Delivery Service (MDS) and Prescription In Locker Box (PILBOX) for medication fulfilment. Its technology platform is integrated with the national HealthHub medication refill portal and the National Electronic Health Record (NEHR), enabling data continuity across the SingHealth cluster's specialty hospitals. AI capabilities deployed or piloted include SPARKI (knowledge retrieval), an AI-powered Brain Gym cognitive training programme for seniors with mild cognitive impairment, and the DeepHealthVision contactless vital signs monitor reporting 95% detection accuracy in pilots.

SingHealth Polyclinics operates on a public healthcare revenue model combining direct government funding — including Healthier SG subsidies that expanded from approximately $230 million in 2022 to approximately $350 million in 2025 across Singapore's GP clinics and polyclinics, averaging more than $140,000 per clinic — with subsidised patient service fees from consultations, treatments, vaccinations, dental, pharmacy, and allied health. Eligible Singaporeans receive vaccination subsidies of 50–75% under the National Adult Immunisation Schedule, with Pioneer Generation and Merdeka Generation seniors eligible for additional 25–50% subsidies, and patients may use MediSave or Flexi-MediSave (aged 60+) for co-payments. The customer base is the general public / individual patients in Singapore seeking accessible and affordable primary healthcare; CTM motion is direct-to-consumer, with Healthier SG enrolment driving ongoing care engagement.

Revenue model

1. Government Funding (Healthier SG): Singapore Ministry of Health provides funding to GP clinics and polyclinics as part of the Healthier SG preventive care strategy. Funding increased from $230 million in 2022 to approximately $350 million in 2025, averaging more than $140,000 per clinic. The funding supports transition to team-based chronic care delivery and offsets declining medication mark-up revenue.
2. Patient Service Fees: Revenue generated from patient consultations, treatments, vaccinations, dental services, pharmacy, allied health services (dietetics, physiotherapy, podiatry), diagnostic radiology, and medical reports. Subsidies available for eligible Singapore citizens (Pioneer Generation, Merdeka Generation).
