Check every practitioner before they start. Keep the proof.

Since February 2026, MOH expects clinics to check a doctor's or dentist's registration and practising certificate before they start work, locums included, and to keep a record. CredSteward keeps that record.

What MOH-MHC-0012-2026 asks of your facility

Issued 6 February 2026. MOH has said that not doing this may be an offence.

Verify before they start
Check the practitioner's registration and that they hold a valid practising certificate before they start work.
Locums included
It applies to the doctors and dentists, and other registered practitioners your facility engages, not only permanent staff. Check the circular for the exact scope.
Keep a record of the check
You need to be able to show that the check happened, when, and what it found.

Our summary of the circular. Read the circular itself and confirm your obligations with MOH; this is not legal advice.

A record you can show, not a spreadsheet you hope is right

1
Add your people and their certificates
Build the roster once. Staff photograph or upload a certificate; we read the name, number, issuer and expiry, and they confirm in one tap.
2
Record every check against the register
When you engage or renew someone, we open the public register search pre-filled. You confirm what you see, and we file the timestamp, who checked and a copy of the evidence.
3
Get chased before anything lapses
Reminders go to staff by WhatsApp and email at 90, 60, 30 and 7 days, then escalate to the manager. The clinic's own poison, radiation and fire licences get the same reminders. Export the whole record as a PDF when an inspector asks.

Questions

Is this approved or endorsed by MOH?

No. CredSteward is an independent tool that helps you keep your own records. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by MOH or any council.

Does it check the register automatically?

Not at first. We open the official register search pre-filled and a person confirms the result, and we file the evidence. We will only automate lookups where the register's terms allow it.

What data do you hold?

Staff employment data only: names, registration numbers, certificates and the record of each check. No patient data, ever. We avoid NRIC numbers and never collect vaccination or TB results.

Where is the data kept?

It will be hosted in Singapore, with each clinic's records kept separate. We follow the Singapore and Malaysia PDPA, and certificate reading uses an AI provider under a signed data processing agreement.

Does it replace HR or rostering software?

No. It does one job: credentials, verification records and reminders. No payroll, no rostering, nothing clinical.
