SingaporeMedicine: Medical Tourism in Singapore

Have you ever considered going to another country for your health care needs?

Would you travel overseas for elective procedures or complex specialized surgeries such as joint replacement, cardiac surgery, dental surgery and cosmetic surgeries?

There are several factors that have led to the recent increase in popularity of medical travel, these include the high cost of health care or wait times for procedures in industrialized nations, the ease and affordability of international travel, and improvements in technology and standards of care in many countries of the world.

Singapore is one of the leading health care services hub in the region, more than 150,000 international patients coming here each year for a whole range of medical care. Some come for health screening, others for eye, heart and brain surgeries. Yet others come for cancer treatment. Whether their needs are basic or complex, patients find assurance in a world-class health care system that emphasizes safety and pushes the boundaries of excellence.

The country's medical tourism initiative, SingaporeMedicine, builds upon the island-nation's well-established health care system and strong reputation for quality medicine. It also fits well with Singapore's growing biomedical sciences efforts in basic, translational and clinical research.

Besides reasons of top-notch expertise, advanced technology, a safe environment and a healthcare system they can trust, international patients also choose Singapore for the multiracial and multilingual setting that puts them at ease.
