As a foreigner living in Singapore, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Singapore if they have access to public healthcare in Singapore. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"Yes, as a foreigner living in Singapore, you will have access to public healthcare. Singapore's public healthcare system is highly regarded and provides quality care at an affordable cost. The system is made up of a network of public hospitals and polyclinics, which offer a range of services from general medical care to specialist services. The public healthcare system also provides subsidies for certain treatments and medications, making it even more affordable," commented one expat who made the move to Singapore.
