General Practitioners (GPs) Clinics

Under the Mental Health General Practitioner Partnership (MHGPP) Programme and Primary Care Network-Mental Health (PCN-MH), partnering GPs are trained to identify, diagnose and treat individuals with mental health conditions in the community. These GPs are also supported by Community Intervention Teams (COMIT) to provide non-pharmacological intervention such as counselling and psychotherapy.

All Singaporeans, regardless of income, are eligible for Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS) subsidies at CHAS GPs participating in the MHGPP when they seek treatment for conditions under the Chronic Disease Management Programme-Mental Illnesses (CDMP-MI), namely major depression, anxiety disorders, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Patients can also use MediSave to pay for the remaining out-of-pocket expenses after subsidies.
