Hi Anne Montague

In Singapore there are many type of nursing home whether they are fund by MOH or Ministry of health the Government manages the public healthcare system to ensure that good and affordable basic medical services are available to all Singaporeans. They achieve this through providing subsidised medical services while promoting individual responsibility for the costs of healthcare services.Just like Philippine Department of Health.


TYPES OF NURSING HOMES
In Singapore, Nursing Homes are run by either the private sector or voluntary welfare sector (VWOs). Patients who are found eligible for MOH subsidies are placed by Integrated Care Services (ICS)2 into VWOs, and selected private nursing homes under the MOH portable subsidy scheme. Patients who are not eligible for subsidies i.e. full-paying patients, can admit themselves into any nursing home, which we classify into one of four types below:

Private Nursing Homes
a) Private Nursing Homes (which are not under the MOH portable subsidy scheme) These are Private Nursing Homes, which cater to full-paying patients.
b) Private Nursing Homes which are under MOH portable subsidy scheme.
These Private Nursing Homes cater to full-paying patients but have set aside some of
their beds to be used by patients who are eligible for MOH subsidies and placed by
Integrated Care Services (ICS).

Voluntary Welfare Organisation (VWO) Nursing Homes
a) VWO Nursing Homes that do not receive MOH subsidies Some VWO-operated Nursing Homes do not receive MOH subsidies, but are self funded through their own fund-raising. The VWOs are able to provide the necessary financial and social assistance to patients who are unable to afford the Nursing
