B2 has a lot of rashes. We brought him to see our family doctor and was told she will refer him to dermatologist or a skin specialist. So she wrote a referral letter and this cost us $32. Then we head straight to National Skin Center to get treatment and did not use her referral letter. At NSC, the cost of consultation is $90. So just seeing the doctor cost $114 with the walk-in fee waived since his condition is quite bad. He then has an injection and drugs. The total cost of medicine is $38. So just for see a doctor for skin condition cost almost $200.
Medical cost is really high in Singapore. Citizens are paying through our nose for basic healthcare. And our government is key to the increased in our daily expenses.
