giving birth in Singapore is no cheap business leh. My wife just gave birth to my son at Gleneagles Hospital, total hospital cost + doctor's fees come up to nearly S$13k. This is not inclusive of pregnancy time doctor's fees. If add all, total around S$23k. Comparatively, when my daughters were borned in Saigon around 5 years ago, i spent only around US$3000 for all expenses, from doctor's fees during pregnancy to giving birth. (and this is in International Hospital and in Single ward)
Bros may ask me why Gleneagles? I started off at KK Hospital. Super long queue with inexperienced foreigner health workers. Gave me wrong scanning results which gave my family sleepless nights worrying. Thus, decided to change to private. BTW, KK also not cheap if your wife is not Singaporean.
