Through a network of polyclinics and private medical clinics, primary medical treatment, preventive healthcare and healthcare education is being provided to Singaporeans.

With the 5 general hospitals throughout Singapore, providing multi-disciplinary inpatient and specialist outpatient services to Singaporeans.

My Reflections:
I am impressed with Singapore's healthcare services. Providing the best to the citizens despite the expenses need.

S'pore Healthcare Financing~~

Singapore offers universal healthcare to our citizens, with a financing system based on the philosophies on individual responsibility and affordable health care. With the mixed financing system, use of market based mechanisms to promote competition and transparency and the adoption of technology to further improve the delivery of healthcare services, Singapore have secured good healthcare outcomes for her population. Accomplishing these with a minimal expense, 4% of the GDP that is considered low among developed countries.


My Reflection:
I think that Singapore government is wise in decisions. Ensuring that all Singaporeans received basic and affordable healthcare, the government has a need to subsidize the heavy medical bills, despite the large amount of subsidizing, Singapore is still able to keep the healthcare expernditure to a minimal.

Singapore's Healthcare system consists of public and private healthcare, complemented by the rising standards of living, housing, education, medical services, safe water supply and sanitation, and preventive medicine.

All Singaporeans are available to good and affordable healthcare services with the help of government subsidies, making sure that no Singaporeans are prevented from receiving basic healthcare due to financial limitations from any hospitals.
