Private or Restructured Hospital?

Delivered at NUH as a private patient in Oct 2020. After Medisave deduction, I paid about $2.5k for both myself and baby in A1 ward after a 4 day stay which included phototherapy for baby. Natural birth no assistance. Do consider the paediatrician follow-up as well when deciding :) ours was a seamless transition to NUH subsidised for our baby who had to go for weekly follow-ups for jaundice until 3 months, so if we were at a private hospital we would have gone broke.

My husband and I compared the prices between the two, and decided to go with restructured hospital. Went the subsidised route for first 2 trimesters and then switched to private (at the restructured hospital) during my 3rd trimester. Delivery wise, I remembered paying 2K+ for both baby & me, after medisave deduction in A1 ward. Natural birth with epidural, but had an episiotomy, and only stayed over for 1 night.

Mount E Novena for my 2 delivery as I follow my gynae. 1st delivery - about $12k in 2019 for natural delivery. 2nd delivery $22k in 2020 for natural delivery plus NICU as bb is premature and needed 4 days NICU.

Parkway East single bedded, elective csect $14k+ (before claiming Medisave). Normal delivery wld hve been abt $9k+. Doctor fees vary. Rates as at Dec 2020.

if you are not prepared to bring out cash $10k at least, you should not consider private single bedded.

Mount e single bedded, C sec 16k+
