Insights into Singapore’s national strategy for primary care reform: physician attitudes, facilitators and barriers to healthier SG

While the objectives of HSG were supported by physicians, its implementation posed substantial operational and financial challenges. Addressing these barriers requires improved administrative processes, enhanced system integration, and targeted public education efforts. Policymakers should consider tailored strategies for public and private healthcare providers to ensure the programme's long-term success. These findings provide valuable insights for optimising HSG and can inform similar healthcare reforms in other contexts.

Abstract

While the objectives of HSG were supported by physicians, its implementation posed substantial operational and financial challenges. Addressing these barriers requires improved administrative processes, enhanced system integration, and targeted public education efforts. Policymakers should consider tailored strategies for public and private healthcare providers to ensure the programme's long-term success. These findings provide valuable insights for optimising HSG and can inform similar healthcare reforms in other contexts.
