HCSA allows for a phased approach to progressively license healthcare services.

Hence, MOH is adopting a calibrated and risk-based regulatory approach. While MOH has no current plans to license these services, the Ministry will closely monitor the landscape of such services. As the service complexity evolves and there is evidence of impact and risks to patient safety and welfare, MOH can take steps to licence these services.

Before any new services are licensed, MOH will engage and consult the relevant stakeholders on proposed standards to ensure that they are contextualised for that particular service.
