Singlife partnered Doctor Anywhere

Singlife has partnered with a tech-led healthcare company headquartered in Singapore, Doctor Anywhere, to introduce DA Healthwise Plus. It is a subscription-based plan that provides its members with healthcare, benefits and group personal accident coverage underwritten by Singlife.

Connecting with Self-employed individuals

Who are self-employed individuals? What are the challenges they cope with in terms of health and financial security?

There are roughly 310,000 self-employed individuals in Singapore facing significant differences in healthcare coverage compared to their employed counterparts. Approximately 30,600 of these individuals were gig workers performing roles such as taxi drivers, and drivers with food delivery and ride-hailing platforms.  These individuals potentially struggle to ensure their own and household’s financial freedom due to rising costs of daily expenses and irregular income, which can often lead to financial stress just to meet basic and household needs. These factors could put these individuals at a significant financial disadvantage during unexpected situations, such as falling ill or encountering an accident. Singlife aims to address crucial needs for these self-employed individuals—providing them with the peace of mind for their health and financial security. They can easily access these support via bespoke Health Tech propositions
