Provide affordable healthcare for all

We will ensure that Singaporeans can afford quality healthcare services. To do this, we will:

• Make hospitals more efficient so that they can keep charges affordable

• Improve MediShield, Medisave and Eldershield to help Singaporeans afford medical care

• Continue to subsidise lower-income Singaporeans who fall sick

• Double Medifund to $2 billion to provide additional help for the needy

• Build a new general hospital in Yishun

• Help Singaporeans lead active lifestyles and stay healthy
