Singlife and foodpanda have joined forces to introduce RiderCare, a new initiative providing affordable outpatient healthcare services to foodpanda’s delivery partners in Singapore. This collaboration, announced on 1 August 2026, aims to enhance the wellbeing of gig economy workers by offering them access to a comprehensive range of medical services.
The RiderCare programme is available to all active foodpanda delivery partners at no enrolment cost. Supported by Singlife’s medical panel partner, HMI Managed Healthcare, the programme grants access to over 1,000 clinics offering primary care, specialist services, and preventive health measures. Delivery partners can benefit from services such as GP consultations, dental care, physiotherapy, and health screenings at preferred rates.
Akhil Doegar, Group Head of Distribution at Singlife, expressed pride in being the first insurer to partner with foodpanda to provide such extensive healthcare offerings. “Many gig workers do not have access to traditional employment benefits, and medical expenses can place a significant strain on their financial wellbeing,” he stated.
Foodpanda’s Director of Logistics, Ervin Lim, highlighted the importance of the initiative, noting that delivery partners are crucial to the company’s operations. “This partnership with Singlife expands coverage for our delivery partners and their families, reinforcing our commitment to a supportive ecosystem,” Lim said.
The RiderCare programme also includes access to mental wellness resources and curated rewards via the Singlife app. Looking forward, Singlife and foodpanda plan to explore further support options for delivery partners, focusing on enhancing access to protection solutions and reinforcing their commitment to the wellbeing and financial security of riders.
