flag Over 630 Singaporean GPs now treat mental health conditions under a government-funded program expanding community care.

flag Over 630 general practitioners in Singapore are now part of the Mental Health GP Partnership programme, up from over 520 in 2024, enabling them to diagnose and manage more complex mental health conditions under standardized protocols for depression and anxiety. flag The expansion, part of Singapore’s National Mental Health and Well-being Strategy, supports greater access to community-based care through Healthier SG clinics and polyclinics, with 23 of 28 now offering mental health services and a goal of 32 by 2030. flag GPs can refer patients to community teams for therapy or shared care teams with psychiatrists, all fully government-funded with no out-of-pocket costs. flag The initiative has improved diagnosis accuracy, care coordination, and patient outcomes through integrated, holistic treatment.
