MOH increases subsidies for community hospitals
It will also extend to covering advanced diagnostics.
The Ministry of Health (MOH) will enhance subsidies for community hospitals starting 1 October, aligning with those of acute hospitals, announced Health Minister Ong Ye Kung.
The MOH is also extending subsidies to cover advanced diagnostics at community hospitals. This is aimed at reducing delays and easing the transfer process from acute hospitals, the minister said.
The MOH said that it will continue to improve its data infrastructure, streamlining the sharing of patient data. This move is expected to help avoid the need for repeated tests, screenings, and assessments as patients transition between facilities.
