For instance, SingHealth introduced Steps to avoid falls in Elderly (SAFE) Programme and Singapore General Hospital introduced Community Care Programme in 2016 to aid the old age medical conditions. Backed by greater demand, major hospitals have invested in expansion strategies. For instance, IHH Healthcare witnessed positive growth in revenue due to ramp up of Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital as the hospital added 30 beds. Most of hospitals in Singapore have undertaken organic methods of expansion. Public hospitals have extended their capabilities to provide higher grade services at affordable prices.

Raffles Hospital extended its service portfolio to include skin, aesthetics and women related services. The market faces certain challenges in terms of slowdown of medical tourism, retention of quality doctors, rising healthcare inflation and growing competition which has led major hospitals to shift their focus on expansion into neighboring countries such as China and Malaysia.
