Why am I not allowed to use terms that are derivatives of, or associated with the national initiative “Healthier SG” in the naming of my clinic? What happens if I still wish to proceed with using terms related to “Healthier SG” in my clinic name?

Question

Accepted Answer

MOH officially launched the national initiative “Healthier SG” in July 2023 to focus on preventive health. Under Healthier SG, eligible residents will enrol with a registered Healthier SG clinic and enjoy Healthier SG benefits. As such,

licensees should avoid using terms that are derivates of or associated with “Healthier SG”, to minimise potential public confusion caused by the conflation of your clinic name with MOH’s national initiative.

If you have submitted a naming application with a term that is a derivative of or associated with “Healthier SG” in your clinic name (e.g., “Healthy SG” or “Healthier Hub”) to MOH’s Healthcare Applications and Licensing Portal, MOH will reach out to you to advise whether your application be supported.
