About The Company
Bridging the Gap in Chronic Pain Management
Founded in 2018, Singapore Paincare Holdings Limited (SPCH) has rapidly evolved from a specialized pain management practice into a comprehensive medical group dedicated to treating chronic pain. The company’s journey began with a focus on providing alternatives to open surgery, utilizing minimally invasive procedures and multidisciplinary care to address a silent epidemic affecting thousands of Singaporeans.
Mission and Values
The mission of SPCH is to bring pain care to the heartlands, making specialized treatments accessible and affordable for the general public. At its core, the group values patient-centric care, innovation in medical technology, and a holistic approach that integrates Western medicine with complementary therapies such as physiotherapy and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
Key Achievements
- Successful listing on the SGX Catalist board in July 2020, demonstrating robust growth and investor confidence during a global pandemic.
- Strategic expansion through the acquisition of GP clinics, transforming them into pain-focused primary care centers to bring specialist knowledge to local communities.
- The establishment of a comprehensive ecosystem that includes specialist clinics, physiotherapy centers, and TCM services under one integrated group.
"Our goal is to ensure that patients do not have to live with pain, providing them with a pathway to recovery that is both effective and accessible."
Vision for the Future
Singapore Paincare envisions becoming the leading one-stop center for pain management in the region, setting the gold standard for how chronic pain is diagnosed and treated within the community. The group continues to look for innovative ways to expand its reach and improve patient outcomes through education and advanced medical techniques.
