SINGAPORE: (Jan 27) Aspiring doctors in Singapore can study in another eight overseas institutions, including Manipal Academy of Higher Education in India, as the city-state will recognise degrees from these universities to meet growing demand from the ageing population.
The newly approved schools will help Singapore better meet the growing demand for doctors amid an ageing population, the Ministry of Health (MOH) and Singapore Medical Council (SMC) said in a joint statement on Tuesday.
The latest addition of the eight universities brings the total number of recognised overseas medical schools in Singapore from 112 to 120 as of February 1, 2026. The Ministry said it has accepted SMC’s recommendation to add eight medical schools to the Second Schedule of the Medical Registration Act 1997.
