Signed in November 2023, this is the first-ever such partnership between a para-sports organisation and a healthcare provider to offer complimentary healthcare services for para-athletes. The partnership is estimated to be worth around S$200,000 per year.
These sponsored services, which cover 60 physiotherapy sessions, 24 occupational therapy sessions, 12 podiatry sessions, diagnostic imaging and blood tests each year, will allow PAS athletes to significantly enhance their fitness, recovery, and competition readiness.
While the primary objective of this programme is to support Singapore’s para-athletes in maximising their sporting potential, IHH Singapore also hopes that the programme can serve as a motivator for other members of the community to come forward and support para-athletes and differently-abled individuals.
