MediSave Care is not applicable to Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents below the age of 30 as they are significantly less likely to develop severe disability and need long-term care. They also tend to have lower MediSave balances based on employment history.

 

Those under the age of 30 who require assistance can tap on various support schemes such as subsidies for early intervention programmes under the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF), subsidies for therapy services at the KK Women's and Children's Hospital and National University Hospital, and means-tested Government assistance schemes such as the Home Caregiving Grant (HCG), in meeting their long-term care needs.

 

For Singaporeans who are unable to afford care even after receiving Government subsidies and support from other schemes, additional help is available through Government-funded safety nets such as MediFund or ComCare.
