SINGAPORE - Individuals with more severe mental health needs could soon be matched with more care, as part of a tiered care model that the Ministry of Health is considering.
Dr Janil said the proposed framework matches the level of care to the degree of the mental health need, allowing for resources to be allocated based on the severity and complexity of an individual’s needs. He said: “Due to the lack of resources, people may turn to untrained mental health practitioners or rely on self-help resources. This may not provide the same level of support and expertise as a trained one.
The cost of treatment can be high for the workers’ employers, who have to foot the bill, she said, suggesting extending affordable healthcare schemes for migrant workers to cover dental care.
