Singaporean's Guide To Cost Of Hospitalisation Treatment: Which Hospital Is The Cheapest?
Is it really cheaper for Singaporeans to die than to fall sick?
We did a little bit of research on the cost of a funeral and that of medical treatment in Singapore. Turns out, an ‘atas’ funeral can cost Singaporean up to $11,000. The cost of cancer treatment? Up to $17,000 per month.
Singapore’s Medical Cost Inflation vs The World

With the ageing population, the demand for healthcare will be constantly on the rise. This increment in demand will drive the cost of medical treatment even higher, should the supply of healthcare fails to catch up.

Average Cost Of Hospitalisation In Singapore For Various Treatments
Not all hospitals are the same. The immediate difference in medical cost between a private and public hospital is a known fact to every Singaporean.
Assuming the cost of treatments at various hospitals remains constant, a breakdown on all the medical cost for various hospitals will be useful.
The ward you choose will affect the cost of your hospitalisation too. Here are the differences between various ward type:
| Type of hospital wards | Description | Subsidy |
|---|---|---|
| Class A | Own room with air-con and Television | 0% |
| Class B1 | 4 beds with air-con and Television | 20% |
| Class B2 | 6 beds | 50% - 65% |
| Class C | 8 to 10 beds | 65% - 80% |
Editor’s Note: We are only focusing on the cost of treatment without complications, given that it is lower in cost. This gives Singaporean a good baseline of the cost.
