SingPost, Fullerton Health to collaborate on healthcare logistics, last-mile medical delivery

[SINGAPORE] Singapore Post (SingPost) and Fullerton Healthcare Group on Thursday (May 14) announced the signing of a memorandum of understanding for the co-development of a robust, integrated healthcare delivery ecosystem. 

The collaboration aims to tap SingPost’s nationwide and community infrastructure – specifically, its extensive logistics and warehousing capabilities – and the clinical and pharmaceutical expertise of Fullerton Health to serve the healthcare community. 

This includes plans to build innovative solutions for healthcare and medicine delivery in Singapore, said the group, adding that it has been developing end-to-end logistics solutions. 

Mark Chong, CEO of SingPost, said: “We believe that our ability to deliver medicine to every household will support Fullerton Health’s ambition to extend its reach to customers islandwide.” 

The move comes as Singapore is in acute need of a resilient medical supply chain as it becomes a super-aged society in 2026, where at least 21 per cent of the population is aged 65 or older, SingPost said.  

The partnership also marks a step towards the diversification of its logistics portfolio, identifying healthcare as a focus sector alongside its established e-commerce operations. 

SingPost noted that Singapore’s health strategies increasingly prioritise community-anchored care with a growing requirement for a resilient, medical-grade supply chain.

“SingPost and Fullerton Health intend to evaluate how their combined capabilities can support the direction of national initiatives and facilitate more efficient medication fulfilment within residential neighbourhoods,” the group said. 

The collaboration also helps Fullerton Health strengthen the downstream elements of its healthcare value chain.
