Private hospital or private KKH

Choosing the right Gynae I would like to know how much does it cost for a private Gynae? Should we choose private at KKH or Private Gynae? My husband and I are new to this and we would like to be able to consult the same doctor throughout our pregnancy but was told it could cost us up to 20k. Has anyone seen Dr Suzanna from KKH? Please share with me you experiences and would appreciate if you could give us a breakdown of it :)

Dr Suzanna is full up to Sept 2020 last I checked. And she doesn’t take in patients once they hit 32 weeks in pregnancy. I have tried to switched to her but too late. Should have asked for her when I first came for my first appt at KKH so that I can go the subsidised route for appts all the way until her earliest appt. But I guess too late for me now as my due date is 19 Oct and she doesn’t have any slot in July to mid-Aug. Called KKH and they advised me to call in everyday in case anyone cancels their appt but very unlikely they will. But I still have to try. I’m not sure how much she costs but there aren’t many female Muslim gynaes in SG so I’m assuming she’s quite expensive I guess. My female cousins and SIL pregnancies were all under her but I have not asked them about her price cause they don’t know I’m pregnant yet haha. I heard if you choose private gynae in KKH is the same cost as private gynae at a private hospital. But honestly speaking, any complications at private Hospitals, they will still refer back to KKH so I’m also kind of in a mixed right now. Also, depends on your Budget. Maybe you can ask around first and discuss it out with your husband before deciding. Because subsidised route is way way cheaper than private but downside is you may get random Doctors even up till your delivery date. My friend is taking Dr Aziz at Parkway and her package is about $3.4k for normal delivery. There are subsidies as well for private. You may want to take a look at this link, see if it helps. This is based on 2018 rates. https://www.google.com.sg/amp/www.income.com.sg/amp/blog/cost-of-delivery-in-singapore
