Seeking a doctor

Know when to see doctors at GP clinic to reduce the strain on emergency services.

Last updated on 3 February 2026

GP Clinics

There are many conditions that your GP can treat. Find out when you should see a GP or go to the Emergency Department for these conditions.

There are about 1,800 GP clinics in Singapore, which handle about 80% of all primary care needs. Some of these clinics are solo practices, while others are part of bigger medical groups.

In recent years, MOH has been working closely with GPs to ensure that Singaporeans have access to affordable and quality healthcare in the community.

GPFirst

GPfirst

The GPFirst programme encourages people with mild to moderate health problems to visit their General Practitioners (GPs) first, rather than going directly to the Emergency Department (ED).

Going to the GP first allows you to receive timely medical treatment for your health problem, and enables EDs to focus on more urgent cases requiring medical attention.

How GPFirst works

You can contact your GP when you feel unwell:

  • Visit a participating GPFirst Clinic, search for a participating clinic near you (opens in new tab).

  • If our GP partner refers you to the emergency department (ED) via the GPFirst Programme upon assessing your condition, you will receive a $50 subsidy on the prevailing ED attendance fee of the hospital that you are referred to.

  • Based on the assessment by your GP, you will be referred to an acute hospital or Urgent Care Centre in your region.

  • You will also be prioritised over non-emergency cases at the ED.

  • The programme's terms and conditions are subject to change without prior notice.
