CHAS/ Merdeka/ Pioneer Generation

The Singapore government provides various subsidies to help make healthcare expenses more affordable for Singaporeans and Permanent Residents.

At Frontier Healthcare Group, all our clinics participate in the following government schemes and subsidies:

  • Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS)
  • Merdeka Generation (MG)
  • Pioneer Generation (PG)

The CHAS, Merdeka Generation and Pioneer Generation cards allow Singaporean citizens to receive subsidies when seeking care for common illnesses and chronic conditions at GP clinics.
