What is Screen for Life?
Screen for Life (SFL) is the national screening programme by
Health Promotion Board (HPB) that encourages Singaporeans and Permanent
Residents to go for regular health screening and follow-up. Treatment is more
effective when conditions are detected and treated early.
As part of the programme, eligible Singaporeans can access
subsidised screening for cardiovascular diseases, cervical cancer and
colorectal cancer at a low, fixed fee at CHAS GP clinics.
