Driven by an influx of tourist and specialist workers from the West, and the area’s own leading technical developments, this corner of Southeast Asia is home to several centres of medical excellence.
FREMONT, CA: Since there are gaps in the public and universal health care systems, it is sensible to explore comprehensive private medical insurance in this sector where private health care is in high demand.
Singapore: Singapore is home to a strong health tourism sector and is recognised as a medical centre of excellence in Southeast Asia. Medical insurance companies will occasionally choose to move their members from other nearby nations to Singapore for elective, speciality, and emergency care. There is a cost associated with this exceptional level of treatment. Those who are considered "permanent residents" are eligible for both the mandatory Medicare programme and the more extensive Medishield insurance programme. Most expatriates and almost all foreign employees are not covered by this, thus they may wish to think about purchasing private health insurance. Ten excellent public hospitals, thirteen upscale private hospitals, and countless other specialised clinics and treatment facilities where English is widely spoken all contribute to the high calibre of care. This costs 2.75 per cent of the GDP and employs approximately 2 doctors for every 1000 people. Singapore ranks sixth on the World Health Organization's (WHO) 2000 World Health Report, which is understandable (based on health system attainment and performance in all member states, ranked by eight measures).
Thailand: Thailand's healthcare system is comprised of both governmental and privately funded foreign facilities. Foreigners living abroad should look into private medical insurance because there is no free healthcare available to them. A guarantee of upfront payment is required by many public hospitals.
