Outpatient treatment

Subsidies

The Ministry of Health provides subsidies to make treatment at CHAS clinics, Polyclinics, and public Specialist Outpatient Clinics more affordable. This ensures that one can get the care they need without worrying about the cost. This support covers many types of treatments, from seeing a family doctor to getting specialist care.
