Global MD's Procedures for Surgery in Singapore
Singapore is one of the world's leading health travel destinations. While less known to medical travlers than India, Singapore has been treating international patients since the 1980's. Medical tourism in Singapore attracts more than 400,000 patients from 60 countries every year who travel to Singapore for affordable, high-quality healthcare.
Recent rise in medical tourism in Singapore is the result of 13 JCI-accredited hospitals in Singapore, the most in Asia and more than any other nation besides the U.S. The World Health Organization ranked Singapore's healthcare system number one in Asia and sixth in the world. Singapore boasts one of the world's lowest infant mortality rate, 1.9/1,000. Asia's beacon of health care has an average life expectancy of 79.3 years; 77.4 years for men and 81.3 years for women.
Singapore has invested millions in its health care system over the last twenty years. Part of building a strong health infrastructure is ensuring the world-class education of its doctors. The Ministry of Health regularly sends Singapore's doctors to be educated at the world's elite medical institutions. These doctors return to serve patients in Singapore. Surgery in Singapore is considered at par with procedures in the U.S. The surgeons are highly skilled and adopt modern techniques and equipments for the procedures. Plastic Surgery in Singapore is reliable and affordable. You may chose Singapore as your destination for Cosmetic and other General procedures.
The jewel in Singapore's health care system, Parkway Group Healthcare, operates throughout Asia and is based in Singapore. Parkway hospitals have more than 1,200 beds and 1,500 physicians. Parkway has two of Singapore's thirteen JCI-accredited hospitals and is widely considered one of the best health care networks in Asia and the world.
Singapore is the East's great melting pot, a cultural mélange that leaves the unsuspecting visitor dazzled. Culture lovers thrive in this fusion of Chinese, Malay and Indian cultures - the main ethnic groups - with its assortment of mosques, temples and synagogues. Singapore presents a cheerful collision of opposites – opulence at the famed Raffles Hotel, and modest modernity in the markets of Bugis Junction and Clarke Quay.
But even in the more modest areas, Singapore remains an incredibly clean and modern city where nothing is allowed to dull the shine – not even chewing gum. But Singapore's exciting riverside parade of bars and restaurants reveals that Singaporeans know how to have fun - and plenty of it.
The natural world is never far away in Singapore, either: Bukit Timah Nature Reserve has a significant area of primary rainforest within its boundaries, while, for the adventurous, Sungei Buluh Nature Park offers the chance for trekking. If you can squeeze it in between long naps in the tropical heat and shopping trips to the air-conditioned malls, check out Pulau Ubin's mangrove forest, a bumboat's ride from Changi jetty, or Kusu site of Taoists' annual pilgrimage.
