新加坡衛生部長王乙康在國會書面答覆義順集選區議員黃國光有關政府授權保健機構幫助單身未婚母親解決與懷孕相關的健康問題的計劃。

以下內容為新加坡眼根據國會英文資料翻譯整理：

黃國光（義順集選區議員）先生詢問衛生部長：是否有計劃授權綜合診所、公立醫院和私立醫院幫助單身未婚母親在產前就診和分娩時解決懷孕和相關的健康問題。

王乙康（新加坡衛生部長）先生：我們認識到單身未婚母親在承擔照顧子女和經濟責任方面所面臨的挑戰，這增加了她們出現身心健康問題的風險。

我們的公立醫院，特別是竹腳婦幼醫院和國立大學醫院，為單身未婚母親提供由醫生、護士和醫務社工組成的跨學科團隊提供的全面支持，以及相關的心理健康和社區支持。這包括為她們進行全面的醫療評估、促進諮詢服務、經濟援助和提供教育資源，以開啟她們的為人父母之旅。他們還積極主動地識別高危人群或需要更多幫助的人群，並將他們與社會服務中心、家庭服務中心和社會服務組織等社區機構聯繫起來。

我們的公共和私營醫療保健系統對所有母親一視同仁，根據個人需要提供產前和產後護理。

以下是英文質詢內容：

Mr Louis Ng Kok Kwang asked the Minister for Health whether there are plans to mandate help from polyclinics, public hospitals and private hospitals to address single unwed mothers' pregnancy and related health issues during their prenatal medical appointments and upon delivery of their babies.

Mr Ong Ye Kung: We recognise the challenges single unwed mothers face in shouldering the caregiving and financial responsibilities for their children, which raise their risks of physical and mental health issues.

Our public hospitals, particularly the KK Women's and Children's Hospital and the National University Hospital, provide single unwed mothers with comprehensive support by a multidisciplinary team, comprising doctors, nurses and medical social workers as well as mental health and community support, where relevant. This includes doing a complete medical assessment, facilitating counselling services, financial assistance and providing educational resources to kickstart their parenthood journey. They also proactively identify those who are at-risk or need more help and link them with community agencies, such as the Social Service Offices, Family Service Centres and social service organisations.

Our public and private healthcare systems treat all mothers equally, providing antenatal and postnatal care based on individual needs.
