Sumsing wong with this as foreigners prefer Thailand for healthcare. And not sinkie, Japan or china.

When it is lumber one in the world, it means last to the natives. Hence you get all the kpkb.
Simple logic.

Should be aiming for best healthcare system in sg, and not in the world.
Stupid.

Only if you go to Gleneagles or Mount E. The public hospitals, they are all heng sway, tikam tikam.

If China's healthcare system is ranked #5 on the list, you can safely disregard that study/survey/poll/whatever.

Unless organ harvesting was considered, then China is the world champion, no contest. Ask the current Malaysia agong, former Johor king, and how his yaosiu prince son jumped queue to receive an organ transplant in China.

Many foreign patients have voted with their feet by not coming to S'pore for their medical care, and more S'poreans are following suit by seeking cheaper treatment in Malaysia, Thailand and even India. The heightened competition among private hospitals here has not brought overall prices down in the medium to long term. In fact, prices have increased by about 20% per year.

The mark-up on inpatient medication, laboratory and imaging tests as well as consumables (everyday items such as tissue paper and diapers) can be as much as 200%. When queried about items in the bill, cashiers routinely give reasons that the layman is in no position to verify.

That's where insurance comes into play. Unless of course you are the super high SES folks like Mugabe where that markup becomes irrelevant.

Enjoy your tikam tikam in public hospitals. Or the long wait with the better senior consultants, and you sometimes cannot afford to wait.

The keyword here is "system". You can have the best SOP, but you don't have the right people to implement it. End of the day, your healthcare quality is still shite.

The premium of Medishield Life is forever increasing, even the retirees with no income still need to pay higher and higher annual premium, 真的是生不如死！

MOH has stated clearly that private hospital charges are not under its purview, so they have given these facilities a free hand to determine prices for both medicine and supplies. Is it any wonder that private hospital bills have almost tripled over the past 15 years or so?
