2. Healthcare services regulation and licensing

The Healthcare Services Act was enacted to regulate the delivery of various healthcare services in Singapore.

Last updated on 31 October 2026

The Healthcare Services Act (HCSA) was enacted in 2020 to regulate healthcare services in Singapore. It provides a flexible, services-based regulatory framework that keeps pace with evolving models of care, including mobile and virtual care.

A risk-based regulatory approach is applied to determine the types of licensable healthcare services under HCSA. Providers must hold the relevant HCSA licences before offering any licensable healthcare service in Singapore.
