Family doctors will play a key role as the nation shifts away from the traditional focus on illness-based hospital care to a more sustainable way of patient-centred preventive care that will focus on keeping people healthy and out of hospital as much as possible.

Describing this as a "major healthcare reform initiative" called the Healthier SG strategy, Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said it is important to move now.

In The Straits Times' The Big Story, Multimedia journalist Hairianto Dirman spoke to Senior health correspondent Joyce Teo to find out more about the initiative.
