In 2026, Singapore’s healthcare sector is navigating a pivotal transition as we become a super-aged society. The current data reflects this urgency: the projected 4.3% salary increase for healthcare professionals and the slightly higher 4.6% pay bump in life sciences signal a strategic effort to anchor talent in a highly competitive market. We are seeing a critical demand for specialised roles like radiographers, therapists, and registered nurses, who form the backbone of Singapore’s expanding infrastructure. As we shift from acute hospital settings toward community-based care under the Healthier SG and Age Well SG frameworks, the focus is moving beyond mere headcount to talent sustainability and upskilling. The future of frontline workers and mid-management lies in preventive clinical wisdom, leveraging these increments not just as inflation hedges, but as investments in a workforce that must support ageing-in-place with unrivalled precision.
