I gave birth last month via elective csect at KKH and stayed in A1 ward for 3 days. Had to make a deposit of 4.8k if im not mistaken for both mum and baby ward a day before my csect.
A month after discharge later they send me another bill to make around $600
Dont know abt now but 2 years back gave birth at Mt A via emergency csect, 4 days stay at A1 ward, had to fork out around 8K cash
Personally for me both experiences was just as pleasant, just at KKH less privacy as there were plenty of student nurses around i think. But if you dont mind that, i dont think theres much of a difference IMO
