摘要

新加坡居民的眼科初级保健(OPC)主要由训练有素的专科医生提供。这既是当前公共医疗保健系统的性质所决定的,也是社会观念和偏好所决定的,同时还对该国的眼科医生资源造成了沉重的负担。人口结构的变化、不断攀升的成本以及医务人员增长的限制,使得新加坡的医疗保健战略必须转向以初级和预防性护理为主。这一国家政策的变化进一步强调了投资于眼科中心这一结构性更强的服务的必要性。重新审视初级医疗保健的原则以及这些原则如何应用于眼科,将是及时审查该国眼科中心系统的重要第一步。

Ophthalmic primary care in Singapore: Considerations for review
Ophthalmic primary care (OPC) of Singapore residents is mainly provided for by trained specialists. This is due both to the current nature of the public healthcare system as well as societal perceptions and preferences, and it imposes a heavy burden on the country’s ophthalmologist resource. Changing population demographics, escalating costs as well limitations to medical manpower growth have necessitated a shift in Singapore’s healthcare strategy to focus on primary and preventive care. This national policy change further emphasizes the need to invest in OPC as a more structured service. Revisiting the principles of primary care and how they apply to ophthalmology will be an important first step in a timely review of the country’s OPC system.
