A verified professional will get in touch.
None of these is right for everyone. Your doctor can help you decide where to start.
A plan, referrals and public programmes such as Healthier SG where you are eligible.
Support with habits, activity and eating, often group or app based.
A dietitian builds and adjusts an eating plan with you.
A clinic monitors your health as you go, usually with regular check-ins.
A doctor decides whether any prescription option is appropriate for you.
Specialists assess whether surgery could be appropriate, usually after other approaches.
A responsible programme asks about your health and medication before it starts.
You can see who they are and check their registration.
No guarantees of fast or specific results.
You know the total, what it covers and how to cancel.
The programme is comfortable with you checking in with your doctor.
They talk about keeping progress going, not only starting.
Ask for names and registration numbers, and check them.
Fees, products, check-ins and anything extra, in writing.
Ask about refunds and minimum commitments before paying a prepaid package.
They should explain these clearly for anything medical or any product.
Ask how often and by whom.
Ask what they would change, and when they would suggest another approach.
We connect you with one verified provider who understands what you need. No hard sell, and no obligation.
There are many different approaches. You hear what each involves before you decide whether any of them is for you.
Anything that affects your health is best discussed with your own doctor. A good provider will encourage that.
You can ask questions and compare programmes, and nobody pushes you to pay upfront.
They include support through your family doctor or a polyclinic, programmes under Healthier SG and the Health Promotion Board, commercial slimming programmes, coaching and lifestyle support, dietitian-led plans, medical weight management clinics, treatment prescribed by a doctor and assessment for surgery. Which suits you depends on your health and goals.
Yes, particularly if you have a health condition or take medication. Namoye doesn't give medical advice. A matched provider can explain their programme, but your doctor knows your history, and may be able to refer you to subsidised support.
Healthier SG lets residents enrol with a family doctor of their choice, who works with them on a health plan that can include nutrition, exercise and weight. It is a public programme with its own rules, so ask your doctor or the Ministry of Health how it could help you.
It varies widely by programme and provider. Namoye doesn't set prices. Ask what the total would be, what is included and how to cancel, before you pay.
Doctors are registered with the Singapore Medical Council, and dietitians can be registered with the Singapore Nutrition and Dietetics Association. 'Nutritionist' isn't a protected title, so ask about their qualifications and check them.
Only a registered doctor can prescribe them, after assessing you, and the decision is theirs and yours. Ask about the benefits, risks and side effects, how long treatment would last and what happens when you stop. The Health Sciences Authority regulates these products, and slimming products sold without a consultation, or that aren't registered, can contain harmful ingredients.
Be careful with promises of fast or guaranteed results, no health check, pressure to pay for a long package upfront, and products without clear ingredients or evidence. Prepaid slimming packages are a common source of complaints, so ask for details in writing and what happens if the centre closes.
It varies from person to person. Be cautious of anyone who promises a specific result in a set time. Ask the provider what they would expect for someone in your situation, and how they measure progress.
It is a serious decision. Ask about the surgeon's registration and experience, the risks, the aftercare and the total cost, and speak to your doctor. MediSave may cover part of the cost of approved procedures done in a hospital, subject to limits, so ask the hospital what applies.
Raise it with the provider first. If it isn't resolved, you can complain to the Singapore Medical Council about a doctor, and the Consumers Association of Singapore can help with disputes about packages and charges.
What you hope to achieve, whether you have insurance, and your postal code. Keep your health history and medication list for the provider, not the form.
