The Ministry of Health will be increasing the Medisave Withdrawal Limits (MWL) in four areas.

1. Inpatient daily withdrawal limit will increase from $400 to $450.
   

   With the increase, Medisave will, on average, cover 82%(currently 76%) of each B1 bill, and 66%(currently 57%) of each A/private-hospital ward bill.

From 1 January 2007, the Singapore Ministry of Health has extended the Medisave for Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP) to cover high blood pressure, lipid disorder and stroke. This is in addition to the coverage for diabetes which began on 1 October 2006.

In a news release, the Ministry of Health (MOH) confirmed its roll out of the chronic disease management scheme.
