Health Screening in Singapore (2026): How Much It Really Costs & Where to Go

We all know how crucial health screenings are—spotting potential health issues early can save you from high medical bills and serious complications down the line. But when it comes to the cost of these screenings in Singapore, things aren’t always straightforward.

Whether you’re looking for a basic package or a full-body check-up, we break down the prices across polyclinics, hospitals, and private clinics so you can make an informed choice in 2026.

1. Health Screening Packages in Singapore: 2026 Prices Compared Health screening costs can range from super affordable to shockingly expensive, depending on where you go and what tests are included.

Here’s a snapshot of current prices (all GST-inclusive) across various providers:

Generally, more comprehensive screenings come at a higher cost. Don’t just look at the price tag—check the tests included to see if they match your health profile.

Some clinics even offer health quizzes to recommend the right package based on your age, gender, and lifestyle.

2. Can You Get Health Screenings at Polyclinics? Polyclinics in Singapore don’t offer full-body check-ups, but they do provide screenings for specific conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol.

However, if you’re looking for affordable screenings, the Health Promotion Board’s Screen for Life programme is your best bet. You’ll pay a nominal fee depending on your eligibility:

Eligibility

Cost

CHAS Green / Eligible Citizens

$5

CHAS Blue / Orange

$2

Merdeka Generation

$2

Pioneer Generation

Free

These subsidised screenings cover specific conditions depending on your age and gender:

  • Ages 18–39: Diabetes, cervical cancer (for women 25+)

  • Ages 40+: Add screenings for obesity, high cholesterol, high blood pressure

  • Ages 50+: Includes screenings for breast and colorectal cancer (for women)

Mammograms are available at selected clinics under this scheme too—at subsidised prices from $25 to $75.

3. Are Health Screenings Cheaper at Public Hospitals? Public hospitals offer health screening packages, but they aren't subsidised since you can't get a referral for these. So don’t assume they’re cheaper than private providers.

Here’s a look at what some major public hospitals charge for their most basic packages:

Hospital

Basic Package

Price (Jan 2026)

Singapore General Hospital

Basic Chronic Disease

$426.19

Tan Tock Seng Hospital

Core Screening

$218

National University Hospital

Health Express

$248.52

Changi General Hospital

Core Health Screening

$403.41

Khoo Teck Puat Hospital and KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital no longer offer standard health screening packages.

4. Private Hospital Screenings: Worth the Price? Private hospitals often come to mind when you think about premium medical care—and prices to match. But the truth is, some of their basic packages are surprisingly affordable.

Hospital

Basic Package

Price (Jan 2026)

Raffles Medical

Raffles Classic

$138

Mount Alvernia Hospital

Basic 250

$277.95

Parkway East Hospital

Classic

$115

Farrer Park Hospital

HealthTrack Regular

$476.74

Private hospitals may include more tests per package, so it’s good value if you need something more detailed.

5. What About Private Clinics? Private clinics offer the widest price range. You’ll find health screenings that start from just $52, going all the way up to more than $500 depending on the number of tests included.

Clinic

Package

Price (Jan 2026)

Central Clinic

Basic Package

$52.32

LifeScan Medical Centre

Essentials

$135.78

Sata CommHealth

Prime

$340

Thomson Medical

Basic

$398

Healthway Medical

Classic

$397.85

Fullerton Health

Live Fuller Premium

$542.82

Clinics often offer promotions, so it’s worth checking websites or calling in to find out the latest offers.

6. What’s the Most Affordable Health Screening in Singapore? If budget is your main concern, Central Clinic’s Basic Package at $52.32 is the most wallet-friendly option. Just remember: lower prices usually mean fewer tests.

Also, it may not include consultation or follow-up—so factor in additional costs if needed.

While public hospitals are trusted names, don’t overlook lesser-known clinics, especially if you just want a quick, no-frills health screening. What’s most important is whether the screening fits your needs.

7. Can You Use Medisave for Health Screenings? In most cases, no—Medisave doesn’t cover general health screenings. It can only be used for specific screenings such as:

  • Mammograms (for women aged 50+)

  • Colonoscopy (for colorectal cancer)

If you already have a chronic condition like diabetes or high blood pressure, you might be able to use Medisave as part of ongoing outpatient management.

Final Thoughts Health screenings don’t have to break the bank. With prices ranging from just over $50 to several thousand dollars, you’ve got plenty of options.

The key is to choose a screening package based on your health profile, lifestyle, age, and any existing conditions. Speak to your doctor if you’re unsure, and remember—it’s always better to screen early than treat late.
