Are the requirements under HCSA and its subsidiary legislations applicable to local licensees who provide healthcare services overseas?
Healthcare Services (General) Regulations, General
HCSA applies to local or foreign entities providing licensable healthcare services in Singapore. HCSA does not have extra-territorial reach. Local entities providing licensable healthcare services overseas are reminded to comply with the legislations in the foreign country.
Similarly, the provision of licensable healthcare services by foreign entities to local patients who travel overseas will also be outside the jurisdiction of HCSA.
