1. Health Screening
Health screening helps to discover if a person is suffering from a particular disease or condition, even though he or she does not have any symptoms. If a disease or condition is discovered early through screening, the person is able to receive treatment early and avoid complications, much suffering or even death.
Finding out about a problem early can also mean that treatment is more effective. Finding out you have a health problem, or an increased chance of a health problem can help people make better informed decisions about their health. Screening can reduce the chance of developing a condition or its complications.
Screen for Life (SFL) is a national screening programme that offers eligible Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents (PRs) subsidised screenings, recommended based on age and gender.
SFL aims to encourage Singapore Citizens and PRs to go for regular screenings and follow-up. With early detection and appropriate intervention, we can prevent or delay the onset of certain diseases such as diabetes, as well as complications related to them.
From 1 September 2017, the Ministry of Health (MOH) and the Health Promotion Board (HPB) have enhanced subsidies for SFL to encourage more Singapore Citizens to go for the recommended health screenings and have the necessary follow-up.
We at ULTIMED HEALTHCARE aim to provide the most suited health screening package for you, having your health and interest in mind – ranging from the young working adult to the elderly generation in their twilight years. An all-encompassing health.

2. Telemedicine
Telemedicine, which enables video or phone appointments between a patient and their health care practitioner, benefits both health and convenience. More health care providers are offering to “see” patients by computer and smartphone.
“Health organizations are providing virtual appointments and are expanding their telehealth options, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic,” says Brian Hasselfeld, M.D. Hasselfeldis assistant medical director for digital health innovations at Johns Hopkins Medicine.
Telemedicine thus has many benefits, including reduced doctor visits, reduced waiting time at clinics, access to subspecialist opinions, avoidance of catching infectious diseases, home monitoring of several medical parameters,
and enhanced online learning.

Latest News & Highlights
Monkey Pox
Mpox, formerly known as Monkey Pox, is a viral disease caused by the monkeypox virus, which is part of the Orthopoxvirus genus. It is characterised by symptoms such
as a painful rash, fever, and enlarged lymph nodes.
The disease can spread through direct contact with infected individuals, animals, or body fluids. Although Mpox is typically a self-limiting illness, it can lead to severe illness, particularly in vulnerable populations such as pregnant women, young children, and immunocompromised individuals.
WHO Global Health
Emergency Declaration
The World Health Organization (WHO) declared Mpox a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) due to a significant outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and other African countries.
This declaration was driven by the emergence of a new, more virulent strain of the virus, clade 1b, which has spread rapidly through sexual networks and has been detected in countries that had not previously reported Mpox cases. The declaration aims to prompt international cooperation, increase funding, and accelerate vaccine distribution to control the outbreak.
Mpox Situation in Singapore
In Singapore, the risk of Mpox transmission remains low at present. The Ministry of Health (MOH) has reported that all Mpox cases detected in Singapore have been of the milder Clade II variant, with no instances of the more severe Clade I strain. As of July 2024, Singapore has recorded ten cases of Mpox, with a total of 32 cases in 2023.
Key Points for Singapore
Low Transmission Risk: The chances of contracting Mpox in Singapore are currently considered remote, especially in casual everyday settings like outside dining, public utility spaces, public transport or shared office spaces.
Public Health Measures
MOH has implemented measures such as requiring travellers to report symptoms and travel history upon arrival to Singapore as this currently remain as the likely source of import for the virus.
General Precautions
Members of public should maintain good personal hygiene including handwashing, avoid contact with unwell individuals, especially those with significant travel history to affected countries, and to also practice safe sex.
Travelers from Mpox-affected areas should monitor for symptoms and seek medical attention if they develop signs like fever or rash, informing healthcare providers of any recent travel.
Overall, the Singapore health system remains vigilant, with public health measures in place to manage and monitor the situation. MOH has provided guidelines for healthcare practitioners to identify and manage suspected cases.
