Singapore and Medical / Dental Tourism
Singapore is a leading destination for world-class, affordable and safe healthcare.
Singapore's healthcare system was ranked as the sixth best in the world and the best in Asia by the World Health Organization in 2000. In addition, 13 hospitals and medical centres in Singapore have obtained Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation.
With well-respected doctors trained in the best centres around the world, internationally-accredited hospitals and speciality centres, a global reputation as a medical convention and training centre, a fast-growing basic and clinical research hub, Singapore has established itself as Asia's leading medical hub, serving medical travellers from around the world.
From basic screening and cosmetic surgery, to high-end surgical procedures and complex speciality care in areas such as Cardiology, Neurology, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Oncology, Ophthalmology, Orthopaedics and Paediatrics among others, Singapore's well-trained and experienced medical staff work to deliver the best healthcare experience and treatment for every international patient, providing them and their families peace of mind.
Affordability
Cost is an important consideration for many international patients. For instance, for uninsured or under-insured patients from the United States, procedures in Singapore cost one-fifth or less of the price back home. Even after factoring in the patient's and accompanying persons' travel and accommodation expenses, the cost savings are still considerable. Patients in Singapore are assured of world-class treatment and good clinical outcomes.
Accessibility and Convenience
Singapore is an international city that welcomes people of all cultures. The Changi International Airport is connected to over 180 cities around the world, making the island-state highly accessible. Transport and accessibility within the country is easy and convenient. English is the first language of education and business, and people in Singapore live in an environment of high security and low crime.
Peace of Mind
Visitors to Singapore can be assured that they will receive world-class medical care in a safe, culturally- and religiously-accommodating environment. Singapore is truly one destination where medical travellers can enjoy peace of mind when health matters.
