Since the enactment of HCSA in 2020, MOH has engaged extensively with various stakeholders and noted several areas where enhancements can be made to the regulatory framework. The past two years have also seen the rapid mainstreaming of newer, non- brick-and-mortar models of care, in part due to the opportunities that surfaced while managing the COVID-19 pandemic. As such, MOH is amending HCSA to further strengthen safeguards for patient safety and welfare, as well as enhance operational efficiency and reduce regulatory burden for licensees.
