The key resources below aim to help all new and existing healthcare service providers obtain their licence(s) under the Healthcare Services Act (HCSA).
- If you hold a HCSA licence, you will need to abide by the general HCSA requirements and respective service regulations.
- If you hold a Private Hospitals and Medical Clinics Act (PHMCA) licence, you will need to continue abiding by these prevailing regulations.
- If you hold both PHMCA and HCSA licences, you will need to abide by the requirements from each that pertain to your services.
Attention to all HCSA Licensees:
The Director of Medical Services intends to modify the conditions of your licence granted under the HCSA by imposing the appended Licence Conditions (LCs) on the Retention Periods of Patient Health Records for your Licence. Pursuant to Section 14(2) of the HCSA, you may submit written representations to the Director of Medical Services with respect to the proposed LCs described above by the 5 July 2022 at HCSA_Enquiries@moh.gov.sg. We regret to inform you that representations received after the 5 July 2022 will not be accepted. Attached is a copy of the draft LCs and accompanying FAQs. If you are an existing HCSA licensee, you should have received our email on 21 June 2022 titled: “MOH CIRCULAR NO. 78/2022: NOTICE OF PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS TO LICENCE CONDITIONS FOR HCSA LICENSEES” containing the draft LCs as well.
All these requirements will apply to HCSA Phase 1 licensees. Click here to see which HCSA Phase(s) your service(s) are in.
