Hi!
I saw this disturbing news on my fb. It says “Consultation fees at SGH and polyclinics to increase.”
For the benefit of non-mandarin speaking netizens, I have translated the (Zaobao) article. Please do not hesitate to correct me if there are any mistakes in the translation as my mandarin is not that strong:
“SGH and 2 polyclinic associations have increased their consultation fees by 5 – 20% in Dec 2013.
SGH increased its fees on the 15th Dec 2013 for A/E, specialist and hospitalization. For subsidized patients, the increase is from SGD$32 to SGD$34 for specialists.
For unsubsidized (private) patients, the increase in consultation fees is greater – by 20% from $83.46 (max $105.93) to $99.51 (max $126.25).
The official reason given for the increase is higher operating costs while at the same time improving productivity. The last increase was in Dec 2012.”
