In 2005, nearly 400,000 international medical patients from around the world traveled to Singapore to seek the excellent, safe and trustworthy medical care that Singapore’s own citizens enjoy in a healthcare system ranked by the World Health Organisation as having the best healthcare system in Asia.

With well-respected doctors trained in the best centres around the world,internationally accredited hospitals and specialty centres, a global reputation as medical convention and training centre, and a fast-growing basic and clinical research hub, Singapore is now a multi-faceted medical hub serving Asia and the world. Singapore’s strong connectivity to the world, safe and efficient environment, and cosmopolitan yet harmonious community make Singapore an excellent healthcare destination.

The world is flattening and patients, no longer content with the healthcare available immediately around their home cities, are beginning to travel around the world seeking the best healthcare possible, both for better assured outcomes as well as for more affordable services. Medical directories, like Medical Travel, play a vital role in assisting patients to evaluate and select their healthcare providers. This second edition reflects the ongoing maturation of the globalising healthcare industry.

SingaporeMedicine wishes our international medical visitors the very best of care and a pleasant stay in Singapore.
