Respiratory and oxygen equipment in Singapore
Oxygen concentrators, nebulisers, CPAP and BiPAP machines for home use.
What to look for
- Oxygen concentrators require a doctor’s prescription in Singapore (prescribed oxygen therapy).
- CPAP machines for sleep apnoea are prescribed by a pulmonologist or ENT specialist.
- Nebulisers for asthma and COPD can be purchased without a prescription but benefit from guidance on technique and medication.
- Keep equipment clean and service concentrators per the manufacturer’s schedule.
Buy or rent?
Rental of oxygen concentrators is common for short-term needs (e.g. post-hospitalisation oxygen dependency). Long-term supplemental oxygen users typically purchase.
Subsidy options
Prescribed supplemental oxygen at home may be covered under insurance or CareShield Life payouts. Check with your insurer and hospital care team.
