NUH expands supportive and palliative care in new partnerships

One key focus area is to enable more terminally ill patients to receive care at home.

Singapore’s National University Hospital (NUH) has signed a memorandum of understanding with five insurers and six home care service providers to broaden supportive and palliative care services.

One key focus area is to enable more terminally ill patients to receive care at home, addressing concerns about out-of-pocket expenses and access to professional home-based care.

“By collaborating with insurers and home care providers, we can expand access to home-based care, alleviate financial concerns, and enhance the support system for patients and their families at every stage of their journey,” said Mark Puhaindran, Chairman of the Medical Board, NUH.
