IVF in Singapore

Singapore has one of the Strongest Economies in the World, and is considered by many to be the Hub of Medical Tourism in Asia.  Offering World-Class Fertility Clinics & Treatment at Far Lower Prices, Many Couples Visit Singapore For Affordable IVF Abroad.  

Already a hugely popular destination for IVF and other Fertility Treatments, Singapore aims to be serving one million foreign patients a year by 2012.  Presently 200,000 medical tourists visit Singapore annually, many of them for IVF.

Singapore has an excellent reputation for many types of elective surgeries and medical care, but one of the most popular is IVF and other fertility treatments.  For many fertility procedures in Singapore, it is possible to save 50% to 70% compared to prices in the US, and sometimes even more!

Sometimes unfairly maligned as Asia-Lite, Singapore has extremely low levels of poverty, corruption traffic jams and crime.  Why it should be that anyone should miss these features is beyond me, but if you look beyond this, you will see a rich and diverse culture, with a mix of Malay, Indian and Chinese.

An small but extremely populous Island-State, Singapore is in fact an extremely enjoyable country to visit, with excellent food of many varieties, superb shopping, and a surprising amount of rainforest still intact for such a small, crowded country.  The centre of the island has tropical rainforest where all you can hear is the monkeys swinging in the trees. 

It is true that Singapore is not the most liberal of countries, and freedom of speech is yet to catch on, due to belief that it will just cause trouble, but Singapore is not as uptight and regulated as some would have you believe.  The community is colourful, lively, and  friendly, and in many ways you can't hope for more.     

So why is it so much cheaper to get your IVF done abroad in Singapore?

Partly, the cost of living in Singapore, and also the infrastructure costs are cheaper than in the US.  It is cheaper for a skilled fertility specialist to set up a state-of-the-art IVF clinic than it would be in many other countries of the world. 

However, the other factor is that Singapore is so exceptionally business-friendly. The business taxes payable are among the lowest in the world, making it much more cost-effective for an IVF clinic to operate.

There is no question that Fertility Doctors in Singapore are the equal to professionals anywhere else in the world, as you would expect from a country known for its order, cleanliness and technological advancement.

In fact, Singapore has some of the most state-of-the-art IVF facilities in Asia, if not the world.

This does not mean that you should throw caution to the wind, and get your IVF treatment with the first fertility clinic you find.  In Singapore, as with any other country, there are doctors who are more highly skilled and trained than others.

As always, if you are organising IVF in Singapore yourself, you should make sure that you have done a reasonable amount of research.  Otherwise, the best way to organise your fertility treatment is through an agent or referral service, as they will have vetted the IVF Clinics for you.

One of the best referral services for IVF abroad is offered by All Medical Tourism, whose website is well worth a look.  You can compare the costs for all fertility procedures, from different Medical Tourism Destinations, World-Wide, so you can be sure you are getting the best price!
