MOH to boost palliative care capacity to 3,600 by 2025

This translates to an increase in capacity by 50%.

The Ministry of Health (MOH) aims to expand home palliative care capacity by 50% to 3,600 by 2025, an increase of 1,200 places.

The MOH will also increase inpatient and day hospice capacity by around 15% to 300 inpatient beds and 12% to 140 hospice places, respectively, by 2025.

In addition, the ministry will introduce an Equipment Rental Scheme (ERS) to provide affordable and timely access to equipment such as hospital beds and oxygen concentrators for those who wish to stay at home.

The ERS has $23m funding, to be launched by October this year. The scheme will benefit over 12,000 Singaporeans on home palliative care over the next three years.

ERS subsidies will support eligible palliative care patients with a prognosis of one year or less and receive at least 50% subsidy regardless of their monthly income.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
