Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Accreditation Programme

Shaping TCM accreditation together

In October 2026, MOH launched a voluntary Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Accreditation Programme to establish clear and consistent benchmarks for safe and quality TCM care, and to recognise practitioners and service providers committed to meeting these standards.

The programme was shaped together with the TCM community, reflecting a shared commitment to setting clear standards and supporting the continued development of TCM in Singapore, including by co-designing and implementing new care models.

Ahead of its launch, members of the TCM community stepped forward to share their views and give suggestions on how accreditation could strengthen quality and professionalism, while remaining inclusive and achievable for practitioners and service providers.
