Rahayu Mahzam on understanding medical cost variations
Senior Parliamentary Secretary for Health Rahayu Mahzam said that generally, it is not advisable to compare individual medical procedure costs across jurisdictions. She said that while one treatment may be less costly in a foreign country compared to Singapore, there may be other treatments where Singapore is more affordable than that same country. She said Singapore needs to moderate healthcare costs through a holistic approach. She was replying to an MP’s questions in Parliament on Thursday (Mar 7).
