Singapore-based healthcare company Doctor Anywhere (DA) has announced the opening of its flagship health screening and imaging center, DA MedSuites.
As the company’s premier one-stop medical facility in Singapore, DA MedSuites represents the latest milestone in its mission to deliver quality, comprehensive healthcare in the region, DA said in a statement on Friday.

This integrated model makes screenings convenient, fast and accessible, underscoring DA’s commitment to setting new standards in patient-centered care.
Adopting a holistic approach, DA MedSuites will go beyond health screenings by offering education and empowerment through food and nutrition masterclasses, as well as community health initiatives aimed at fostering overall well-being.
According to the statement, Singapore faces challenges ahead with its ageing population and the rising prevalence of chronic illnesses, which are projected to triple healthcare costs to approximately SGD 27 billion ($20 billion) by 2030.

Inaugurating the opening of DA Orchard MedSuites was Minister for National Development and Minister-in-Charge of Social Services Integration, Desmond Lee, who shared in his foreword that the new health screening center affirms DA’s commitment to providing holistic and quality healthcare services.
As Singapore’s healthcare sector continues to evolve, he noted that industry stalwarts like DA will play a critical role in serving the healthcare needs of Singaporeans.
In deepening its services in preventive healthcare, DA said it aimed to drive a greater impact on individual well-being and the broader community.
