💪🏻 Enhancements to MediShield Life are coming your way from April 2025.

The changes will:
Better protect Singaporeans against major health episodes that result in large medical bills.
Enable Singaporeans to afford new types of care.

To support Singaporeans with their premiums, the Government is providing an additional $4.1 billion in support measures, which will more than offset the total premium increases of $1.8 billion over the next review cycle of 3 years. No one will be denied coverage just because they are unable to pay their premiums.
