Family doctors in Singapore are calling for more support as the demand for chronic illness management and preventive healthcare continues to climb. GPs say cases have risen by around 30% over the past year, with further increases expected as more care shifts from polyclinics to the community. Smaller clinics say they are struggling despite increased government grants aimed at easing the load. Muhammad Bahajjaj reports.
