I just went to a private hospital on Tue to have my back and knees checked up as I was experiencing some numbness and pain.
MRIs were done on my back and right knee on Tue after consultation with the consultatn surgeon.
2 days later, I met with consultant surgeons in the specialised areas of back and knee to review my MRI results.
In short, no immediate surgery required and the causes of the numbness and pain identified. We agreed on the next steps to be taken. Luckily, no change to my lifestyle until further developments. At least, I know how to manage my problem now and have a peace of mind.
Now why am I sharing this with you?
It has been reported that foreigners from UK and Europe have flown in to have their medical concerns addressed or treated; eg dental care and implants, some surgery done.
Why?
I understand from the papers that the queue in the overseas hospitals is long and it is also costly.
Singapore or even the neighbouring countries like Thailand and Malaysia have the medical expertise as our surgeons are mainly trained overseas ( like in UK, US and Australia ). Besides, it also cost them less and they could also take a holiday here too.
So my friends, please do not take my word for it. Check it out and if you happen to be passing through, you may want to have your dental work done here .....?
Just a thought for your consideration.....
Singapore has more to offer than just shopping and food..... ha...ha...
Take care!

My family & I have been to Mt Elizabeth, Gleneagles and even Eastshore hospitals for health screening, etc....... and Raffles clinics & their hospital too.
