Answering your questions above, for private gynae it can be expensive in terms of cost. However, chances of getting the private gynae would be available due to their slots that they take in. Should your newborn be in NICU, you will be transferred to govt hospital due to the care facility, equipment, etc that are available there. For govt private gynae, still affordable . Waiting time will also be long eventhough you take gynae. Chances of getting them for slots unlikely esp if they on demand example : Dr Citra (NUH) Prof Su (NUH) , Dr Suzanna (KKH) You may read the article via the link here, not too sure if this is updated but perhaps for referral read up : https://www.thebestsingapore.com/living/complete-guide-to-singapore-hospitals-to-give-birth/ Hope this helps.
