Programmes

As a charity body and Institute of Public Character registered in Singapore, NAF subsidises the medical cost of needy Singaporeans suffering from Arthritis. This may include special transportation required for patients to shuttle between home and hospital.

Patient Subsidy Care Programme
The Patient Subsidy Care Fund subsidises the medical cost of financially needy Arthritis stricken Singaporeans in the hope that they may gain access to the necessary medication and better manage their disease, further seeking employment and eventually be self-sustaining.

For more information on fund-application processes, please visit the Medical Social Department of your chosen Restructured Hospital in Singapore.

Biologics Programme
Instituted in 2007 in response to the high medical costs of biologics agents in the treatment of certain types of Arthritis like Rheumatoid Arthritis and Ankylosing Spondylitis, NAF has set up this Programme towards the subsidy of needy Singaporeans suffering from various forms of Arthritis requiring the use of biologic agents in its treatment.

Tai-Chi for Arthritis
The Tai-Chi for Arthritis programme was introduced into Singapore in 2007 as a healthy lifestyle exercise suitable for patients suffering from Arthritis. Working closely with Dr Paul Lam, a practising general practitioner based in Sydney Australia and Tai Chi expert, NAF has since trained many volunteer Tai Chi instructors and students enabling them to live a healthy lifestyle and better manage their condition.
