NUH ward charges & treatment charges

Ward charges between Gov & Private Hospital

Singapore Medical Insurance - is it necessary

Quote:

A simple appendicectomy can cost between S$2,000 and S$6,000. Cataract surgery can cost between S$3000 and S$5000 per eye.

An operation to treat colon cancer, between S$10,000-30,000 and a cardiac bypass operation up to S$25,000 and S$40,000.

Chemotherapy for cancer can range from S$10,000 to S$100,000 for a 6 month course depending on the type of medications used.

Arguably, these figures are derived from operation costs quoted to private patients but nevertheless, it gives us a clue as to how much treatment of an unexpected medical illness will cost.

Just a one night stay in an A class room in any public hospital will cost between S$450 and S$550, never mind the other charges like drugs, procedures etc.

A night’s stay in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) will set you back over S$1,000.
