Medical Tourism in Singapore - Costs and Treatment prices
Medical tourism can be broadly defined as the service of providing of cost-effective private medical care in collaboration with the tourism industry for patients requiring surgical and other forms of specialized treatment.
Tourists coming for medical treatments also come to Singapore for a broad range of specialist care including cardiology, gynaecology, otorhinolaryngology, orthopaedic surgery, oncology, urology, neurosurgery and opthalmology. National University Hospital is one of the most famous and largest hospitals in Singapore.
Singapore may not be the cheapest option available to you in terms of health care but with a price differential of 60-80% (compared to US hospital rates) on major medical care, the cost savings still amount to a lot.
Here are some other medical treatment price comparisons:
A heart valve operation which would cost over $150,000 in the United States, could cost under $10,000 in Singapore.
Dental crowns or caps could cost anything around $1300 in a hospital in the US, while the same crowns could be implanted for as low as $200 in a hospital in India.
