What Is Screen for Life?

Screen for Life is a national health screening programme by the Health Promotion Board (HPB) that provides subsidies to promote early detection and management of chronic conditions and certain cancers among Singaporeans and Permanent Residents (PR).

Screen for Life integrates with other healthcare schemes, such as the Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS), Pioneer Generation (PG), and Merdeka Generation, allowing individuals to utilise relevant subsidies for both preventive screenings and ongoing chronic disease management. Since September 2017, Screen for Life subsidies have been made available at all CHAS GP clinics.

ATA Medical is a CHAS-accredited GP clinic where Singaporean Citizens can benefit from Screen for Life and CHAS subsidies for recommended health screenings.
