Delivering longevity medicine in a primary care setting
Singapore clinic ‘experiment’ demonstrates a potential path towards democratization of longevity medicine.
Nestled in the densely populated streets of Singapore, a longevity clinic with a difference is quietly conducting its work. At a glance, Bartley Clinic appears to offer many of the diagnostic and prevention services offered by high-end, concierge clinics around the world, but it’s doing so in a primary care setting.
The brainchild of Dr Hishamuddin Badaruddin , Bartley Clinic is a general practice doctor’s office that also offers longevity medicine. Essentially an experiment, the clinic was established to explore if longevity medicine could be delivered in a more affordable, hybrid model, and to explore potential routes towards delivering it on a large scale.
My take on this: Singapore has long been regarded as one of the most advanced locations in the world when it comes to longevity, so it’s perhaps no surprise to find the city-state playing host to an innovative initiative like Bartley Clinic. We sat down recently with Dr Hisham to learn more about the clinic’s experiences so far.
Having worked in preventive medicine and public health for the vast majority of his 29-year career as a doctor, Hisham recently made the shift into longevity medicine when he helped set up Singapore’s first private longevity clinic.

“While I was there, I started to think that this longevity science, although it’s still very niche and very embryonic, should be used to help many more people,” he says.
It was this simple idea led him to open Bartley Clinic in September 2023.
“The clinic is actually an experiment where I try and infuse primary care with longevity,” he says. “It’s a bit different, because a lot of the longevity clinics are targeting high net worth individuals – the rich and famous. And that’s understandable, because all the testing and the diagnostics and everything else is expensive. But at Bartley Clinic I try and keep things affordable, so that it can be accessed by more people.”

All 3 I am thinking if right now are unique and patented and applucable to practives like Hisham's. I can't seem to request a connection with you so I am posting here.
