Programme information about Health Manpower Development Programme visiting experts in 2025

Health Manpower Development Plan (HMDP) - Visiting Experts

The HMDP VE scheme is made available to all integrated clusters, HPB, HSA and MOH. It provides funds for overseas Experts in medical and health-related fields to be brought to Singapore so as to impart their skills and share their knowledge to help improve and upgrade our medical and health team's expertise in the respective disciplines.

The Experts' visits facilitate the sharing of knowledge and skills among healthcare professionals of similar interest in hospitals and institutions across the public healthcare sector. They are involved in lectures, seminars, workshops and visits to the various departments of hospitals/institutions as part of their HMDP programme
