|
Singapore has a world-class healthcare system with a total of 10 state-run hospitals and 13 private hospitals along with a host of specialist clinics each specializing in different treatments and services. Singapore General Hospital is the largest and oldest facility established in 1821. 
The government has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in healthcare facilities, research and development and hiring of best international doctors and scientists. Hospitals in Singapore offer finest healthcare at affordable costs giving patients an opportunity to get healthcare treatment along with a holiday with family in Singapore.
Singapore is known for its cleanliness, order and state-of-the-art standard of healthcare. While this is by no means the cheapest medical tourism destination, its English speaking staff and ultra-high standard of medical care are comparable with those of western countries. The cost too is half of what European and US hospitals charge for the same medical procedures. Those who don't adjust well to culture shock of Thailand and India, Singapore is a best choice for medical tourism for them.
The hospitals in Singapore have Accident & Emergency units which remain open round-the-clock to attend the emergency cases. The standard of healthcare and treatment in the government hospitals in Singapore varies from ward to ward. The cost of treatment in the private hospitals in Singapore is far more than in the government hospitals.
