Occupational Health Services

The Occupational Health Services Centre at StarMed was set up in partnership with Ministry of Manpower, to scale up primary healthcare needs for migrant workers by removing barriers to care, such as transportation and geography, while addressing the lack of access to specialty care and its impact on immediate and long-term health and productivity.

From 1 April 2022, under the Primary Healthcare System (PHS), employers are required to purchase a Primary Care Plan (PCP) for eligible workers from Anchor Operators (AOs). StarMed Specialist Centre is an appointed Anchor Operator (AO) for sector A (central region).
