Singapore Upgrading Medical Tourism Facilities

New developments in Singapore, including the unveiling of the country’s first ever mediplex and a new alliance with a U.S. company to send employees to Singapore for medical treatments, have positioned Singapore as an industry innovator and a top destination for medical travel.

Singapore’s first fully-integrated mediplex, Connections at Farrer Park, will open in 2010 to patients both foreign and local. The 19-storey Farrer Park mediplex will be one of the largest and most advanced of its kind in Asia and will feature a hospital, private medical suites and a full-service hotel for patients as well as care-givers.

The mediplex will offer a full spectrum of patient-oriented facilities and services, with some of the region’s best physicians and teaching/conference facilities to host medical meetings and exhibitions.

Connections at Farrer Park have also completed alliances with a select group of medical equipment suppliers, to secure many technological “firsts” in the region. Come 2011, the mediplex will be one of the medical I.T. showpieces in Asia Pacific boasting the latest, state-of-the-art equipment.
