What the release reports
MOM announced primary-care improvements from 1 April 2027, consolidating six geographical areas into four and increasing clinic access. Physical and telemedicine consultation co-payments will both be S$5.
Details and conditions
PCP remains mandatory for Work Permit and S Pass holders living in dormitories or working in construction, marine shipyard or process sectors. Other employers may enrol eligible workers voluntarily.
Context and follow-up
From early 2026, non-dormitory S Pass holders in CMP sectors may opt out if comparable corporate healthcare coverage is provided. A central enrolment portal is planned. This December 2025 announcement precedes the later operator appointments and fee schedule, which should be read separately.
