Medical Tourism in Singapore

Singapore Singapore Medicine is a multi-agency government initiative that aims to develop Singapore into a leading destination for health care services. In 2005, some 374,000 visitors came to Singapore purely to seek healthcare. Many patients come from neighboring countries, such as Indonesia and Malaysia, and patient numbers from Indochina, South Asia, the Middle East and Greater China are also growing. Patients from developed countries such as the United States and the UK are beginning to choose Singapore as their medical travel destination for relatively affordable health care services in a clean cosmopolitan city. A number of Singapore hospitals have US-sourced JCI accreditation, while others are looking at hospital accreditation from the UK or Australia.
