The Family and Friend’s Health feature enables care receivers (patients) to authorise designated caregivers to view their health and medical records stored in public health systems. These records are for reference only, and may not be the latest or the most comprehensive. If you have medical concerns, please seek professional medical advice from your physicians and/or healthcare providers. This service is only available to Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents aged at least 21 years old.
