NUH or KKH (subsidised)?

Hello! I went to subsidised route at NUH all the way till i was 30 weeks. Initially wanted to switch to private as i wanted Class A ward but thankfully i didnt! For checkups i would recommend NUH as its fast and quick and doctors will answer your questions eventhough you are a subsidised patient. (Im a first time mum) I did not give birth at NUH as i had a threaten premature birth at 30 weeks and they told me to go SGH as they have no bed for baby! Was disappointed but admitted to SGH was the best decision ever as the nurses and doctors were SO MUCH BETTER. They were EXTREMELY caring AND the postnatal C WARD has AIRCON so i didnt even upgrade to A ward and saved money + receive money paynow to my acc after the billing and prenatal claims. I highly recommend you to deliver at SGH. I can even name the nurses as they serve you with a smile and patience always eventho if you are stubborn like me. Hahaha Made me sad to discharge cause they were really nice and REALLY take GREAT care of your baby if you wanted to rest after giving birth. I gave birth on Nov 2025 btw. & SGH visiting hours starts at 8am whereas NUH starts at 12pm. So take it from me, Prenatal checkups @ NUH Subsidised route and Deliver at SGH subsidised route. The SGH daily hospital meals were amazing haha. Long post but wanted to share. Oh i chose C ward but they free upgrade me to B1 but C ward charges :) no difference anyways as postnatal ward A-C all is aircon only difference is A ward husb can stay. Attached is the Ward and delivery room for your ref to consider lololol. Good things must share.

Went from subsidised to Private route. I gave birth to my first two (2018 and 2020) in NUH, A1 ward. Didnt have scans for every prenatal appointments, more to heartbeat check and waiting time was relatively fast as opposed to KKH. The waiting time for KKH appointments can be more than an hour, subsidised/ private, not inclusive of routine HT/WT/BP checks. However, I was forced to room in with my baby for both in NUH, despite going through emergency & elective czer respectively. Other than privacy and families to visit, it can be traumatising for a first timer. Had better experience for my second born due to the pandemic 😂 3rd was born in KKH, B1 ward, 4 bed with aircon. Elective czer but baby was kept in nursery through the night for 2 nights (8 pm to 5 am) as I was on my own, post op and unable to move for the first 24 hours. Had scans for all appointments in KKH. Now with my fourth and pretty much the same experience as third. The only issue I have is there shouldn't be a single outstanding bill from your antenatal or past visits in KKH prior to your birth, or you would be downgraded straight to C class with assigned team doctor to deliver your child — no issues for uncomplicated pregnancies i guess.

I went with NUH subsidised route for my no 2. If your pregnancy is uncomplicated, I would recommend that. Not every visit has a scan. actually most visits got no scan, they just check heartbeat past the 1st trimester. Only have detailed scans during the 20 and 32 weeks. But the upside is checks are very quick. From getting there, submitting urine sample, seeing doc to leaving, it normally takes less than an hr. Do note that class b2 is subsidised, above that is considered private. B2 has no air con, but I find the ward sufficiently cool anyway. Your baby would be with u most of the time unless out for checks. All in all, it was a good decision for mothers who alrdy had kids before to go for subsidised route. Would not recommend for 1st time mothers as you may not know what to do or look out for.

Nuh doesn't provide scans at every appointment unless you are a high risk or have a threaten premature delivery. Although i highly recommend nuh for prenatal checkups as within less than 1 hour you're done. I have been to SGH and NUH for prenatal checkups and recommend NUH due to their great appointments system that SGH lacks.

Awww mummy I do not want you to freak out like what they did to me. My advice is, if possible, please get Class A so at least you can have your family member with you. The csec procedure is amazing. it's just before and after experience.

I just had emergency csec at KKH in Oct for my firstborn. I would never recommend there 😔my friend shared good experience in NUH where she also had emergency csec

I give birth to both of my sons at NUH and under subsidies. So far both have a good experience with them. Now I’m 33weeks again and still under NUH.

Hello. I am currently on NUH subsidies route. I would said that the checkup is smooth. The doctor/gynae n nurse are friendly and approachable.

I highly recommend nuh for prenatal checkups as within less than 1 hour you're done.
