What is Community Haemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis Subsidy?
The Ministry of Health provides subsidies for eligible Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents who are receiving haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis treatment in the community.
What are the benefits?

Subsidy levels are determined through household means-testing using Monthly Per Capita Household Income (PCHI)1 to account for the overall financial resources of the household to support the household members.
