Can I restrict access to my record in the NEHR? What will happen if I do so?

Yes, you can place access restriction on your record in the NEHR.

To submit your request, visit the relevant department at a public healthcare institution. For the list of departments and institutions where you can submit your request, please refer to https://www.synapxe.sg/healthtech/national-programmes/national-electronic-health-record-nehr/faq.

Patients who wish to place access restriction will be counselled, to ensure that they fully understand the implications of this decision to their care as their providers will not have access to their records.

Once you have placed access restriction on your record in the NEHR,

  • your record in the NEHR that is tied to your NRIC/FIN will be blocked from view to healthcare providers authorised with NEHR access, including those providing care to you.
  • you will not be able to see your record in the NEHR via HealthHub.
  • you will not be able to enrol in the Healthier SG programme.
