Singapore Diagnostics makes history at the Healthcare Asia Awards 2026 

SGD Wins Diagnostics Provider of the Year for the Fourth Consecutive Year, also Takes Home Facilities Improvement Initiative of the Year

At the Healthcare Asia Awards 2026 held in Singapore on March 26, SGD claimed two of the night’s most coveted titles: Diagnostics Provider of the Year for an unprecedented fourth consecutive year and Facilities Improvement Initiative of the Year, earning this distinction for the second time. In a room filled with the region’s finest healthcare organizations, SGD stood apart, not for the first time, but for the most meaningful one yet.

Four years. The same standard. The same mission. Every Filipino deserves world-class diagnostics, and SGD has spent every year proving it.

A Four-Peat That Tells a Bigger Story

Winning once is an achievement. Winning four times in a row is a statement.

Since its first Diagnostics Provider of the Year win, SGD has never stood still. The network has expanded from a single clinic in 2013 to over 70 facilities nationwide. It now partners with more than 1,400 laboratories, clinics, and hospitals, and serves over 2.5 million patients every year. Each new award has come with a bigger network, a broader test menu, and a deeper reach into communities that have long been underserved by quality diagnostics.

This fourth consecutive win reflects not just what SGD has built, but why it continues to build—because as long as Filipinos lack access to the diagnostics they need, the work is not done.

The Central Reference Laboratory: A Multi-Billion Peso Commitment on Filipino Health

This year’s Facilities Improvement Initiative of the Year win is anchored on SGD’s most ambitious project to date– the Central Reference Laboratory in Pasig City.

What was once an 800-square-meter facility has been transformed into a 2,500-square-meter, state-of-the-art hub that serves as the operational spine of the entire SGD network. With an extensive menu of over 500 tests, including genetic and esoteric diagnostics and backed by advanced laboratory solutions and a highly trained team, the Central Reference Laboratory delivers reliable results that empower physicians to make timely, lifesaving decisions.

It is also a training ground for the next generation of Filipino scientists, hosting hands-on programs that build technical expertise and strengthen the national healthcare workforce from within.

Underlying it all, SGD remains the only laboratory in the Philippines at this scale to be continuously accredited by the College of American Pathologists (CAP), a distinction it has maintained since 2019.

What that means in practice is simple: every test processed by SGD meets the same stringent quality standards as the top laboratories in New York, right here at home.

A multi-billion-peso commitment. A world-class facility. A new benchmark for Philippine laboratory medicine.

Innovation That Reaches Beyond the Lab Walls

The awards recognize what patients across the country already know: SGD has made quality diagnostics more accessible than ever before.

Through #LABS (#5227), SGD brings CAP-accredited home sample collection directly to Filipino households– a service that reached over 25,000 homes in 2025 alone. For patients with mobility challenges, busy schedules, or simply a preference for care at home, this means world-class diagnostics without the hospital visit.

SGD’s 23 Patient Centers nationwide offer the same extensive menu as the hospitals at very affordable prices, removing cost as a barrier to preventive care and early detection. And through SGD’s logistics network, connects partner laboratories in underserved regions to the same quality infrastructure available in major cities because geography should never determine the quality of a patient’s diagnosis.

Consistency Is the Achievement

In an industry where standards keep rising, sustaining excellence year after year is the real challenge. SGD has done it four times.

These two Healthcare Asia Awards reflect the people, the processes, and the purpose that drive SGD every single day, from the scientists behind the bench to the team members who collect samples at someone’s front door. It is a collective win that belongs to every Filipino patient who has trusted SGD with their health.
