The Community Health Assist Scheme (CHAS) enables Singapore Citizens from lower- and middle-income households to receive subsidies for medical and dental care at participating General Practitioners (GPs) and dental clinics near their home.

The branding of the CHAS card has been revised from “Health Assist” to “CHAS”.

CHAS subsidies are accorded based on the colour of the card instead of the card design.

Existing “Health Assist” cardholders should continue to use the card till the end of the validity period that is indicated on card.

Successful CHAS applicants will be issued with the new “CHAS” card designs from March onwards.
