I went for the maternity tours for these 4 popular private maternity hospitals in Singapore:
So, I got to know first hand what their packages contain, their facilities and service quality from the tour. I will be doing a comparison here 🙂
For me, I am considering a natural delivery with epidural, single wards. So, I will do a price comparison across the hospitals for this category, which I believe is also what the majority of mummies are going for. However, if you would like to know the other categories, like elective c-section etc, comment below 🙂
Prices are inclusive of GST, accurate as of July 2014.
Mt.E Orchard: $3673
Mt.E Novena: $3673
Gleneagles: $ 3471
Mt.A: $3198
As you can see, for the basic package, Mt.E is the most premium priced, and Mt. A is the most affordable. Mt E Orchard and Novena are priced the same.
Actually, all the 4 hospitals are pretty much similar in their package inclusions.
What I noted are small differences:
Mt A hospital is the smallest of all, not much eateries etc. Their maternity wards are dimmer and more homely feel. There are also no amenities around the hospital.
For Mt E, you can straight away proceed to delivery suite, which is better. However, before your baby is born and the package kicks in, you will be charged the daily ward charges while waiting for delivery. For the rest, you may have to proceed to the common observation ward first where the nurses and midwives check on you.
Mt E both provide complimentary parking, which is quite alot of savings especially if hubby is lodging together.
On top of that, Mt E Novena package is inclusive of lodger’s fees, and free one round of minibar for you to serve your guests.
Some additional perks: Mt E Orchard has celebratory dinner in room, Gleneagles has limousine service.
Mt E Novena is the newest of all, from the moment you step in, u will feel like in a five-star hotel. And there are several shopping malls around. For Mt E Orchard, the location is the best as it is in Orchard Road itself.
Mt A has a chapel and blessing for infants. The nurses have been complimented to be really very experienced.
