Utilization of CPF Medisave at Malaysia Hospitals and Medical Centers

Greater than 1 year because our first posting, the Singapore Government acted quickly and at Feb 2010, the Ministry of Health (MOH) declared formally that Singaporeans will have the ability to use CPF Medisave for repayment in 12 hospitals/medical centres in Malaysia beginning 1st March 2010. The closest of those 12 hospitals/medical facilities to Singapore is that the Regency Specialist Hospital situated in Johor Bahru (Regency is only an hour drive from Singapore or only 25 minutes from the Johor Bahru CIQ).

Together with the healthcare bills in Malaysian hospitals expected to be a 20%-35% more economical in comparison to Singapore hospitals, this is very good news for Singapore citizens who currently have an option in handling escalating healthcare expenses. To top this up, these 12 hospitals and healthcare facilities in Malaysia are now owned by two healthcare team at Singapore: Health Management International (HMI) and Parkway Holdings. Expect a specific standard of health health-care and facilities to be supplied.

By way of instance, Regency's patient care centers and medical equipment are somewhat similar to Singapore hospitals. It's the most recent state of the art diagnostic and medical equipment such as a 64 multi-slice Computerized Tomographic ("CT") Scanner and 1.5 Tesla Magnetic Resonance Imager ("MRI") in General Electric ("GE"). Additionally, its new Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory ("Cath Lab") increases the extensive assortment of cardiac care remedies for individuals experiencing severe coronary symptoms needing cardiac catheterization, angioplasty, stent, balloon or pacemaker implantation.
