  "what": "A 345-bed private hospital off Orchard Road in Singapore, opened on 8 December 1979 and owned since 1995 by Parkway Holdings, now part of the Malaysian group IHH Healthcare. Its Medical Centre houses clinics in 31 specialties. The 313-bed Mount Elizabeth Novena opened at 38 Irrawaddy Road on 2 July 2012, and about 30 per cent of its patients come from abroad.",
  "story": "Mount Elizabeth was the first private hospital in Singapore to perform open-heart surgery and the first to set up a nuclear medicine centre, and its identity has stayed cardiac, oncological and neurological since. The royal family of Brunei built a Royal Suite in it for their own use, later opened to other patients — a detail that says more about the hospital's regional market than any brochure would.\n\nThe ownership line runs to Kuala Lumpur and then to the same parent as Acıbadem in Istanbul and Gleneagles in Kuala Lumpur. *Inference —* a patient shopping across Istanbul, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore on price may be shopping three times inside one company, and none of the three sites says so.\n\nThe Novena figure is the one worth holding: about 30 per cent of patients at the newer hospital come from outside Singapore. That is a share of a named hospital's own caseload, which is a far narrower and more useful number than any national arrivals count.\n\nNeither hospital publishes a price. Singapore is unusual in that the Ministry of Health publishes hospital bill data and fee benchmarks by procedure and by hospital, so a figure for an operation at a named Singapore private hospital exists — it is published by the regulator rather than by the hospital.",
  "how": "*Trade practice —* the Singapore route is the expensive end of Asian private medicine and is bought for the system rather than the saving: a regulator that publishes bill data, an English-language legal system, and a concentration of specialists who consult in the medical centre and admit to the hospital next door. The patient's surgeon is usually a private practitioner with rooms in the tower, not an employee of the hospital, which is a fee structure a visitor from a salaried system does not expect.\n\nNo package price is published by the hospital.",
  "today": "As of 17 September 2026 the Orchard hospital carries 345 beds and the Novena hospital 313, both under IHH Healthcare through Parkway. Mount Elizabeth Medical Centre lists clinics in 31 specialties. About 30 per cent of Novena's patients are stated to come from abroad. No price is published by either hospital."
