The WHO recognized the healthcare system in Singapore as the best in Asia and one of the most advanced in the world, and it surpassed in efficiency such monsters as medicine in the USA and Israel. For some time now, treatment in Singapore has also been preferred by Russian citizens, especially since the price-quality combination of the services provided by the local clinics is more than ideal.
Important rules
The quality control of the provided medical services is carried out by the Health Inspectorate, and the assessment criteria correspond to the standards adopted in the most developed countries of the world. Almost all doctors undergo training in clinics in Europe and the United States and regularly exchange experience with colleagues at international symposia. Several clinics providing treatment in Singapore are accredited by the American independent society JCI, which is the highest degree of recognition at the world level.
How do they help here?
The Singapore health system provides for health insurance for its citizens, which is purchased independently or paid by the employer. Foreign citizens usually use the services of private clinics, in which there is no need to wait in line to perform one or another planned manipulation or procedure.
Methods and achievements
Equipping clinics with the most modern equipment, incessant scientific research in the field of biotechnology, a high degree of training of specialists allow Singaporean doctors to work miracles and cope with the most complex and advanced forms of diseases.
Treatment in Singapore is especially popular among those who require major surgeries:
- Coronary bypass surgery and heart valve replacement are successfully performed in several clinics in the country.
- Orthopedic options in hospitals include hip and knee replacement surgeries.
Issue price
The cost of treatment in Singapore is significantly lower than in the USA or European countries, and therefore medical tourism in a rapidly developing country in Asia is gaining momentum every year. For example, a hip replacement surgery here will cost about $ 15,000, which is about three times cheaper than in a New York clinic, and heart surgery will cost about $ 25,000. The price of a regular doctor's examination starts at $ 20, a blood test is $ 50, and for a day in the recovery room, depending on its comfort, you will have to pay from $ 30.
