Annual Patient Enrolment in HALT-CKD Programme and Success Rate for Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate Levels

Mr Gerald Giam Yean Song asked the Coordinating Minister for Social Policies and Minister for Health (a) since the inception of the Holistic Approach in Lowering and Tracking Chronic Kidney Disease (HALT-CKD) programme, what has been the annual number of patients who have been enrolled; and (b) of these patients, what percentage have successfully maintained or improved their estimated glomerular filtration rate levels after two years of enrolment compared to their baseline at entry.

Mr Ong Ye Kung: The Holistic Approach to Lowering and Tracking Chronic Kidney Disease (HALT-CKD) programme enrolled over 165,000 patients since its launch in 2017. The care model has been integrated into routine care for eligible patients since April 2026.

More than half of the patients enrolled from 2017 to 2019 maintained or improved their estimated glomerular filtration rates over a five-year period.
