Introduction of Medical Services for Immigrants in Singapore

With the improvement of people's living standards, more and more people plan to immigrate to Singapore. How about medical care in Singapore? Next, let's take a look at the medical services that Singapore immigrants can enjoy. Welcome to reading.

First, medical investigation.

Singapore implements free medical care for all. Lee Kuan Yew once proudly concluded: "While ensuring that everyone enjoys the necessary medical care, we have not wasted a lot of resources, and there are no patients waiting in long queues for surgery."

Singapore's medical insurance system includes three levels, namely, national health savings plan, dual health insurance plan and health care fund plan. The whole system emphasizes individual responsibility and unified medical care for all citizens.

The National Health Savings Plan implemented in 65438-0983 is an important part of Singapore's provident fund system. The total contribution rate of Singapore's provident fund system is 40% of employees' total wages (this ratio can be adjusted by the government), of which about 6% of wages (half of which are borne by employees and employers) are included in employees' health savings accounts to pay for hospitalization and some expensive outpatient examination and treatment expenses for themselves and their families, and the outpatient expenses are paid in cash.

Compared with other medical security systems, the most obvious feature of the Singapore model is the establishment of an effective fund raising and use system.
