flag Starting in 2025, Singapore’s public hospitals will assign a single principal doctor to coordinate care for patients with multiple health conditions, aiming to reduce fragmented treatment, duplicate tests, and unnecessary visits. flag The model, already tested at hospitals like Alexandra and Changi General, assigns a lead clinician—often with broad training rather than a specialist—to manage complex cases, supported by multidisciplinary teams. flag This shift, driven by an aging population, improves care coordination, reduces hospitalizations, and eases burdens on families. flag The Ministry of Health is expanding the approach across key specialties and enhancing career paths for hospital clinicians to support long-term sustainability and quality care.
