SINGAPORE: A system supporting Minmed Group’s teleconsultation and health screening services was affected by a "malicious cybersecurity incident", the healthcare provider said on Wednesday (Nov 11).

"Based on our investigations to date, the incident appears to be limited to a specific standalone system supporting our teleconsultation and health screening business," Minmed said.

Minmed also runs GP, dental and paediatric clinics, and provides healthcare and wellness services.

Minmed had reported the incident to the Personal Data Protection Commission (PDPC) and made a police report.

"We are cooperating fully with all relevant authorities to support their investigations," it added.

"We recognise the trust placed in us, particularly when it comes to the handling of personal and health-related information," the healthcare group said.

"Protecting that trust remains our priority and we sincerely apologise for any concern this incident may cause."

It also said that it could not provide more details while investigations were ongoing.
