Private or subsidised

I went for the subsidised route first by going to the polyclinic to get a referral letter. I will see if I want to change to private later on. Previously I also went for the subsidised route to treat infertility at SGH. I feel whether it's subsidised or private, sometimes you will just have to wait because previous appointment may be delayed or doctor went for delivery etc. It was told to me that the main difference is that I cannot choose a doctor if I go subsidised route. The doctor may be different each time I go for my appointment but since I am not sure which doctor is good too, I decided to go for subsidised route first then decide later on.

I see. May I know how long does it takes to get an appointment after the polyclinic visit?

It was about 8 working days after I called in.
