With medical costs climbing in many parts of the world, patients are looking for cheaper alternatives outside their home countries and having a holiday at the same time. Many are finding such a place in Singapore. With its advanced medical facilities, the city state is positioning itself to compete in the growing medical tourism industry.

Hospitals and medical centres in Singapore offer a comprehensive range of healthcare services, which range from health screening to specialty disciplines like cardiology, colorectal surgery, plastic surgery and gynaecology. Singapore also carries out pioneering research and development, tapping on the growing biomedical research community to discover innovative treatments.

Singapore is made up of not just one island but a main island with 63 surrounding islets. The main island has a total land area of 682 square km. Singapore's strategic location, excellent facilities, fascinating cultural contrasts and tourist attractions contribute to its success as a leading destination for both business and pleasure.
