For seniors 60 years and above, doctor visits are at $60, all days of the week.
General surgeon Dr Lee Chin Li from Gleneagles Hospital shares insights on one of the deadliest cancers — pancreatic cancer — and the treatment options available.
Because early symptoms can resemble common gastric issues, they are often overlooked. If something doesn’t feel right, it’s important to seek medical advice early.
Some health concerns can develop quietly, long before anything feels out of the ordinary. Cancer is one of them, with symptoms often appearing at later stages.
By the time it is detected, treatment may take more time, involve greater complexity, and place added financial pressure on patients and families.
That is why early detection matters. Finding cancer sooner can lead to earlier care, clearer treatment decisions, and a more manageable path forward. It may also help ease financial strain over time, with health insurance helping to support costs when needed.
That burning sensation after a hearty meal is easy to ignore when it happens occasionally. But when it keeps coming back, it may be more than just heartburn, says gastroenterologist Dr Shim Hang Hock.
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), commonly known as acid reflux, occurs when stomach contents flow back into the oesophagus, leading to persistent symptoms and possible irritation over time.
The symptoms are not always as obvious as a bitter taste in the mouth. A “persistent cough, throat discomfort, or even bad breath” can also be atypical signs of GERD, he notes. Left unmanaged, “long-term acid reflux may result in injury to the oesophagus,” sometimes making swallowing difficult.
Understanding the signs early can make all the difference.

You’ve noticed the gut symptoms. The question now is: should you get it checked, and what will it cost?
Ongoing gut discomfort can start to affect your daily life and productivity. You might hesitate to see a specialist because you are unsure what the evaluation involves or how much your insurance will actually cover.
Understanding your coverage early, such as using your Integrated Shield Plan for specialist consultations or MediSave for diagnostic scopes, can make the decision to seek care feel more straightforward and less stressful.
If your gut symptoms have become a pattern, it may be time for clarity both medically and financially.
Two cases of mpox have recently been reported in Singapore. While the risk to the general population remains low — given that transmission typically occurs through intimate or prolonged physical contact — it is still important to stay vigilant.
If you experience symptoms such as a rash, fever, headache or swollen lymph nodes, do seek medical attention promptly, especially if you have recently travelled to affected areas.
Hazy days are leaving more people with coughs, throat irritation, itchy eyes, skin flare-ups, and that tight, uncomfortable feeling when breathing. Children, the elderly, and those with asthma or sensitive skin are especially at risk.
If symptoms persist or start to worry you, it’s best to get it checked. Our 24-hr Urgent Care Centre is open day and night for prompt medical care.
Patients are presenting not only respiratory symptoms, but also issues such as itchy eyes and skin flare-ups.

Insurance rider changes are coming on 1 April, and many patients are wondering how this affects their access to private care.
If you already have an Integrated Shield Plan rider, your existing benefits generally remain unchanged for now. While there’s no immediate impact, it’s a good time to review your policy details and understand the process for approvals and claims. Being prepared helps you focus on what matters most – your recovery.
If you need support, our Insurance Helpdesk team is here to assist:

Strong. Brave. Extraordinary.
These are the words that come to mind when we think of the women dearest to us. But behind that strength, many women quietly live with health conditions such as endometriosis, fibroids and pelvic floor disorders — often because they may not know what to do next, or fear that others may not understand what they’re going through.
This International Women's Day, let’s celebrate the women in our lives by starting more conversations about women’s health — because compassion and understanding can make a meaningful difference to their wellbeing.
Is your heartburn caused by acid reflux (GERD) or something else entirely?
Gastroenterologist Dr Wang Yu Tien explains the tests he uses to investigate reflux properly, including one that can monitor your symptoms while you sleep.

Healing doesn’t begin or end at the hospital doors. It starts in the weeks of preparation before admission and continues through the steady work of recovery after you return home.
These in-between stages are often when stress peaks, especially if you’re unsure what your insurance covers.
When you have the clarity of knowing you are supported from the first scan to the final check in, you can stop second guessing every appointment and start focusing on your recovery.
