Singapore’s Legacy: The Medical Tourism Hub of Asia

People are getting vainer and more conscious about their health by the minute. This is especially true in Singapore, a population of roughly 5 million people yet takes credit to more than 200,000 medical tourists annually. Next to the USA, Singapore has established a niche in the medical tourism industry through modern and world-class facilities, not to mention, far cheaper prices than its counterparts in the Americas and Europe.

Singapore has been pulling its share from the international pie since the industry's global advent during the first half of the 2000s. Some 780 million patients are expected to continue running through different foreign territories to bring in $40 billion in revenue all over the world. Even Singapore’s nearby countries are seriously promoting the same industry to gain advantage from the trend.
