SINGAPORE - The impact of stress-related illnesses on Singapore’s health system was estimated to have cost about $3.18 billion in 2018, according to a report released on Thursday (21 November).
The report published by global health services firm Cigna and healthcare consultancy firm Asia Care Group showed that Singapore had the second highest rate of cost arising from stress-related illnesses at 18 per cent of health spending among nine key markets.
Stress-related illnesses represent a significant burden on health systems, and costs are expected to continue to rise, the report said. The report also showed that many people with mental health issues were averse to seeking professional help.
