About SAF Medical Corps
The SAF Medical Corps’ mission is to provide comprehensive, high-quality health care for SAF personnel, protect their health, and optimise their combat performance – in order to enhance the SAF’s operational edge.
The Corps has a proud legacy of contributing to humanitarian and disaster relief as well as peacekeeping missions. This has inspired successive generations of medics, medical experts, medical officers, and dental officers to serve the SAF and represent Singapore in supporting those in need.
As a highly professional organisation with broad operational capabilities and specialised expertise across the Services, the Corps supports the SAF’s expanding range of missions.
In 1972, Headquarters Medical Services (HQMS) was established. HQMS consisted of Manpower, General Staff, Medical Logistics and Medical Specialist Branches. MAJ (Dr) Roy Paul was the first Chief Medical Officer.
In 1994, HQMS was renamed Headquarters Medical Corps (HQMC). HQMC functions as the corporate headquarters for Medical Corps to lead the professional standards, operational and developmental aspects of all medical capabilities in the SAF.
HQMC was successfully reorganised in November 2019.
