With the inclusion of TMC, Prudential customers can choose from a broader selection of over 1,700 panel specialists across more than 30 specialties, including obstetrics, gynaecology, paediatrics, orthopaedics, general surgery, urology, oncology, and ophthalmology.

Under Prudential’s PPC programme, customers with IP supplementary plans (IP riders), PRUExtra Premier CoPay1, PRUExtra Preferred CoPay1 and PRUExtra Premier2, can enjoy greater ease when they make use of Thomson Medical’s healthcare services. They can benefit from the PPC programme’s exclusive value-added services such as an enhanced electronic Letter of Guarantee (eLOG) of up to S$30,000 which means they do not have to pay a deposit at admission. They will also enjoy expedited booking for specialist appointments within three working days on a best-effort basis.
Dr Sidharth Kachroo, Chief Health Officer, Prudential Singapore, said: “Our partnership with Thomson Medical Centre is a valuable addition to Prudential’s network of medical specialists to meet the growing demand for healthcare services driven by an ageing population and increasing incidence of chronic illnesses3. This collaboration is another step forward in Prudential’s commitment to making healthcare more accessible, delivering a seamless experience, and providing better value to our customers.”
Mr Lee Suen Ming, CEO, Thomson Medical Singapore, said: “We are thrilled to partner with Prudential Singapore to empower women, children and families with unparalleled medical expertise. Thomson Medical has grown our medical expertise well beyond obstetrics, gynaecology and paediatrics to include orthopaedics, general surgery, urology, oncology, and ophthalmology. Our partnership with Prudential provides patients with access to a full spectrum of medical specialties that support the family’s health journey. We look forward to partnering with Prudential to better empower their community and support future generations of women and their families.”
With over 45 years of medical expertise and a strong heritage in women’s and children’s health, Thomson Medical has grown into one of Singapore’s leading private healthcare providers. Today, it offers a full spectrum of more than 20 specialties that go beyond its well-established strengths in obstetrics, gynaecology, and paediatrics. These include orthopaedics, general surgery, urology, oncology, ophthalmology, dermatology, and diagnostic imaging, among others. This breadth of services makes Thomson Medical a strategic partner in expanding access to integrated care for families at all life stages.
The collaboration with Prudential builds on this evolution. Thomson Medical brings depth, trust, and continuity of care to the partnership, giving Prudential customers greater choice and assurance when it comes to managing their health across specialist care, outpatient services and family-centred support through a seamless, concierge-led experience that better empowers patients on their healthcare journey.
This partnership follows the inclusion of Thomson Specialists Pte Ltd (Woodleigh), a private panel day surgery centre, under the PPC programme in 2024, underscoring the growing collaboration between Thomson Medical Group and Prudential. Thomson Specialists is a brand that is part of the Thomson Medical Group.
How Prudential is supporting customers in their health journeys
PRUShield customers can enroll in Chronic Care Management Programmes which focus on managing chronic illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and mental wellness. Fully subsidised home-based child and senior vaccinations4 are available for Singapore citizens. In addition, new customers of IP supplementary plan (IP rider), PRUExtra Preferred CoPay, are offered a one-time complimentary health screening to promote early detection and timely intervention of potential health issues. As part of PRUPanel Connect (PPC) value-added services, eligible5 customers receive a carpark voucher or a $15 GrabGift voucher6 for all inpatient and day surgery admissions.
The role of insurance panels in managing healthcare costs
When customers visit panel doctors, they benefit from cost efficiencies as there are pre-negotiated rates with their insurer, resulting in smaller bills. They may also enjoy cashless service and concierge services for appointment bookings that provide greater convenience.
In addition, Prudential applies a claims-based pricing approach that rewards customers for staying healthy, where those who do not make a claim during the review period can enjoy a premium discount. For eligible customers on claims-based pricing who seek treatment with any of Prudential’s panel of specialists, a successful claim ensures that their premium level upon renewal remains unchanged.

Work-Integrated Learning Matters
Work-Integrated Learning bridges the gap between classroom theory and practical application. By immersing students in authentic work environments, internships cultivate essential skills beyond technical knowledge, including cognitive abilities such as problem-solving, affective traits like emotional intelligence, and psychomotor skills that enhance hands-on performance. Graduates who master these dimensions stand out as versatile professionals ready to contribute from day one, shaping leaders of the future who can drive innovation and growth.
The SIM60 WILL Award: Setting Graduates Apart
The SIM60 WILL Award is more than a recognition, it is a testament to resilience and excellence. Students who complete internships successfully and demonstrate perseverance in challenging situations are honoured for their commitment to growth. This award signals to employers that recipients are not only academically competent but also workplace-ready, equipped with the adaptability and grit that modern industries demand. It reinforces SIM’s mission to foster sustainable employment by preparing graduates for long-term career success.
Success Stories That Inspire
Recipients of the SIM60 WILL Award come from varied academic and personal backgrounds, yet many share a common pathway: leveraging work-integrated learning experiences to strengthen their career readiness. Several award recipients have used internships to apply classroom knowledge to real business environments, developing data dashboards, automating processes, supporting cybersecurity initiatives, and contributing to enterprise-level digital projects.
For some, these internships have served as stepping stones to contract or full-time roles in areas such as business analysis, project management and data operations. Others have progressed to subsequent placements in high growth sectors, where exposure to real world challenges has helped refine their technical skills and broaden their understanding of industry expectations.
These experiences reflect SIM’s commitment in shaping leaders of the future and fostering Sustainable Employment through Work-Integrated Learning, demonstrating how structured internships, supported by SIM’s guidance and reinforced through the WILL Award, equip learners with practical competencies and professional confidence to navigate evolving career landscapes.
Impact on Employability
Internship experience is a proven differentiator in hiring decisions. According to global employability studies, candidates with practical exposure are significantly more likely to secure roles and advance in their careers. The SIM60 WILL Award amplifies this advantage by validating the quality of a student’s internship performance. For employers, it serves as a trusted benchmark of talent. For graduates, it opens doors to opportunities that might otherwise remain out of reach, enhancing employability in a rapidly evolving economy.
Key Takeaways
The SIM60 WILL Award reflects SIM’s ongoing efforts to integrate work experience into education, supporting students in building practical skills that complement academic learning. By recognizing internship excellence, the award highlights the importance of resilience and adaptability in preparing graduates for the evolving job market.
