Maternity Costs in Singapore
When having a baby in Singapore, one of the main concerns is the quality of health care and cost of the medical bill. While Singapore has some of the best maternity hospitals in the world, the medical costs associated can be very high, especially if complications require a caesarian section, additional hospital stay, or neonatal care for the baby.
To find out the cost of having a baby in Singapore, women can visit the Ministry of Health Singapore website, where a comprehensive list of hospital treatment prices is publicly displayed and organised for ease of comparison. The cost for having a baby at each hospital is listed under public or private hospital, normal delivery or caesarian section, and the type of delivery room (private single, two bed, or four bed, etc). Other relevant information is displayed such as average length of hospital stay, volume of patients, the average hospital bill and higher percentile ranges.
