Singapore is the ‘go to’ place for Bali expats, when they have a medical emergency. Locally we have a couple of good clinics, SOS International and BIMC, and Sanglah hospital in Denpasar for emergency surgery. If you need surgery and you have the choice, get on a plane to Singapore.
I say have the choice, because some people do. Its not just a matter of time, its a matter of money. Do you have $20,000 to hand over for an operation? If the answer is no, you might want to ge some travel insurance. The package I’m on, allows me to choose where I want an operation to be done, regarldless of where the accident happens. Pretty sweet huh? My friend Mick has a motorbike crash in Spain and couple of years ago, and opted to have surgery in Melbourne. His insurance (same company as mine) runs a 24 hour hotline, so he was able to get local hospital treatment for free, and surgery the other side of the world.
The demand for decent hospitals in Asia, has created a whole new market, ‘medical tourism‘, with superb private hospitals in Thailand. Singapore doesn’t want to miss out, and are planning 2 new ones.
