Pay with: Self and spouse’s MediSave

How it can help

All Singapore Citizen newborns1 qualify for the MediSave Grant for Newborns of $4,000. A CPF MediSave account will be opened for each newborn, and the grant will be credited automatically.

 

This helps parents manage their child's healthcare expenses, such as MediShield Life premiums, recommended childhood vaccinations, hospitalisation, and approved outpatient treatments.

1 If the child is not a Singapore Citizen at birth, the MGN amount will depend on the date that the child becomes a Singapore citizen.
