Singaporean insurer Singlife has announced a partnership with NHG Health designed to improve customers' access to specialist care and explore new care models that support better health outcomes, recovery and healthcare sustainability.
Focus on digestive health
Under the partnership, Singlife’s Integrated Shield customers have access to specialist digestive care across Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, Tan Tock Seng Hospital and Woodlands Hospital.
This includes Woodlands Hospital’s newly opened Digestive Health Centre, which provides comprehensive services such as gastrointestinal and colorectal surgery, to support patients through a more seamless journey from prevention and screening to diagnosis, treatment, recovery and continued care.
As part of the collaboration, both parties will also explore initiatives to further enhance such patient journeys.
This focus on digestive health reflects the significant burden of gastrointestinal conditions in Singapore. Colorectal cancer is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer among men and women in the country, with close to 13,000 new cases diagnosed between 2019 and 2023.
This partnership builds on a prior relationship between Singlife and NHG Health. Since 2024, they have partnered to promote shared learning and develop initiatives in areas such as population health, integrated care and healthcare innovation to drive system transformation.
