Chronic Care
Chronic illnesses are conditions that usually last one year or more, require long-term medical attention and limit the 6 Activities of Daily Living (ADL) – washing, dressing, feeding, toileting, walking or moving around and transferring. While chronic conditions may not have a cure, these illnesses can be manageable. Our team of Family Physicians are here to guide you through this journey to better health and quality of life.
Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP)
Effective management of chronic medical requires regular monitoring, appropriate medical advice and treatment. The CDMP now covers a total of 20 chronic medical conditions such as Diabetes or High Blood Pressure.
All of our clinics are Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS) –Accredited. This allows Singapore Citizens, Merdeka Generation and Pioneers to receive subsidies for medical care.
Through the CDMP and together with MediSave, out-of-pocket cash payments can be significantly reduced.

Assurance Primary Care Network (PCN)
AcuMed currently helms the “Assurance Primary Care Network”, which is part of the Ministry of Health’s (MOH) Primary Care Network (PCN) scheme. Being part of a PCN enables us to share resources and offer value-added services such as Diabetic Retinal Photography, Diabetic Foot Screening and Nurse Counselling.
The provision of Nurse Counselling services and the close tracking of patients on the Chronic Disease Registry, can effectively facilitate improved patient medical outcomes. Additional funding support from MOH also helps manage the out-of-pocket costs of these services for our patients.
As such, AcuMed can better serve our patients in the seamless management of their long-term medical conditions.
