Medical help at hotels in Singapore
Many Singapore hotels appoint their own doctors to attend the customers round the clock. So if an emergency arises while you are in hotel itself then you must first contact the hotel receptionist for assistance. If your need arises outside the hotel, use any public phone. To help the customers, Singapore has hundreds of private and public clinics.

Costs of Medical Facilities
The government has heavily subsidized the costs of medical services for Singapore locals. A foreigner may have to pay a higher amount while utilizing medical facilities in Singapore but the cost is much better than many other tourism destinations. To attract more revenue from medical tourism, many of the private hospitals are slashing their price for various tour operators.
