Singapore represents considerable cost savings in comparison to the United States (U.S.A) and Europe.  The quality of medical professionals in Singapore makes it unique proposition. Most of the medical professionals practising in Singapore have been educated in western countries which gives them the experience and expertise. 

 

Singapore's healthcare services are built on a heritage of excellent quality, safety and trustworthiness, coupled with advanced research and international accreditation, and is Asia's leading medical hub. Nine hospitals and two medical centres in Singapore have obtained Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation. JCI is the main hospital accreditation agency in the United States.

 

People choose Singapore as their medical travel destination for relatively affordable quality healthcare services in a clean cosmopolitan city for a peace of mind. Singapore made news for many complex and innovative procedures such as the separation of conjoined twins and tooth-in-eye surgery. The successful separation of the 10-month-old Nepalese conjoined twins in 2001 puts Singapore's medical expertise onto the World's headlines. Singapore has since accomplished many more milestones both in Asia and in the world arena.

 

Here is a comparison of the costs of medical procedures between USA and

Singapore

The huge price difference between the costs of medical procedures are primarily arising due to -:

 

1. High costs of Insurance Industry - Most of the high costs in USA/UK are arising from the high costs associated with the whole medical system of insurance and hospitals that is prevelant in the western society.

 

2. Medical Liability - In the United States, doctors and hospitals must carry highly expensive medical malpractice insurance policies. In contrast, when you undergo a surgical procedure as a medical tourist, you save a fortune by essentially not funding the legal fees, settlements and malpractice insurance costs normally found in a U.S.-based healthcare practice.
