Why is MediSave Care restricted to those age 30 years and above?
moh
MediSave Care is less applicable for 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 Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF), and subsidies for therapy services at KK Women's and Children's Hospital and the National University Hospital, and means-tested Government assistance schemes such as the Home Caregiving Grant (HCG) in meeting their long-term care needs.
Government-funded safety nets such as MediFund or ComCare can provide further assistance to Singaporeans who are unable to pay for their care even after Government subsidies and other means of support.
