Shaping value-based healthcare 

As the steward of Singapore’s public healthcare resources, MOHH drives system-wide efficiencies through strong corporate governance, controls, and risk management to optimise the use of public healthcare resources, ensuring the highest value of patient-centric care, while maintaining financial sustainability and accountability. We also administer healthcare schemes and subsidies on behalf of the Government that make healthcare more affordable and accessible for all Singaporeans.

We provide centralised support in financial management, corporate governance, compliance, and resource optimisation across MOHH entities. 

This includes: 

• Providing backend financial shared services for our public healthcare institutions to harness economies of scale and drive efficiency
• Providing corporate secretarial and legal advisory services to MOHH and our subsidiaries to ensure accountability and alignment of corporate governance structures and policies 
• Managing risks through running medical malpractice insurance scheme in-house for our public healthcare institutions and junior doctors
• Standardising defined risk metrics and structured reporting to enhance transparency and accountability  

This enables our public healthcare institutions to focus on their core mission of delivering accessible, affordable, and high-quality care.

MOHH maintains the prudent and sustainable use of reserves across MOHH entities to meet future capital needs while ensuring alignment with MOH’s national objectives.

We also streamline healthcare funding workflows and processes by centralising the review of funding papers to enable quicker fund disbursements from MOH and more timely support for critical healthcare services and projects.

We provide independent assurance and advisory services to support MOHH and our subsidiaries in managing risks and ensuring good governance.  

With a zero-tolerance approach to fraud and misconduct, MOHH upholds high standards of ethical conduct. Our whistleblower hotline is independently managed, ensuring concerns can be raised safely. All reports are investigated independently, with outcomes reported to the relevant Audit & Risk Committees.

We play a vital role in ensuring that Singaporeans and lower-income households can access affordable healthcare and essential government support through the timely processing of applications, appeals, and means-test evaluations.

The public healthcare schemes and subsidies we administer and support include the Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS), MediSave, MediShield Life, and Additional Premium Support.
