You'll need to call KKH admin directly to switch your subsidy class - they handle it pretty smoothly, just a form and payment arrangement. As for timing, honestly most mums switch anytime before the third trimester so there's no rush, though earlier is easier since your notes transfer over without hassle. For a female doctor, I'd suggest asking the admin staff when you call which ones are available in the private wing and whether they're taking new patients - that way you can request her during the switch. A few of my friends went private at KKH and they said the continuity of care is really good since it's the same hospital, and you get to see the same doctor most visits which makes a difference.
