Singlife has teamed up with healthcare provider Doctor Anywhere to launch DA Healthwise Plus, a healthcare subscription solution designed for the self-employed workforce in Singapore.  

The plan aims to provide accessible healthcare and group personal accident insurance, filling a significant gap in protection for freelancers and gig workers such as ride-hailing and food delivery drivers.

A recent survey by Singlife highlighted that more than 53% of gig workers lack insurance against accidents and potential income loss.  

DA Healthwise Plus addresses this issue by offering benefits similar to those available to corporate employees, including affordable consultations and personal accident coverage, underwritten by Singlife. 

The subscription model features general practitioner consultations at a fixed rate of S$13 ($9.54), either in-person at more than 300 partner clinics or online via the Doctor Anywhere app.  

It also includes group personal accident insurance, which offers a daily hospital income of up to S$80 for a maximum of 30 days.
