Paediatric Day Surgery: Small Patients, Serious Planning
Children may require surgery for conditions such as hernias, undescended testes, or ENT issues. While procedures are often shorter, paediatric care involves specialised teams and facilities.
What It Costs
MOH-aligned private fees typically include:
• Paediatric surgeon fee: SGD 3,500 – 6,500
• Paediatric anaesthetist fee: SGD 1,200 – 2,000
Paediatric wards and monitoring add to total cost.
What’s Typically Covered
Most comprehensive family plans cover:
• Medically necessary paediatric surgery
• Hospitalisation and anaesthesia
• Post-operative monitoring
Sub-limits may apply for paediatric-specific care.
Insurance Tip
Check whether your policy includes paediatric specialists. Some adult-focused plans do not.
Conclusion
Children’s surgery requires specialised care. Insurance should be designed for families, not just adults.
