Public holiday surcharge

Hi mummy, I can’t advise you on PH surcharge amount but… maybe be prepared that surcharge is at least a few hundred? Not forgetting…there is surcharge on weekend as well. There is definitely a surcharge imposed. My EDD is 26/12 and gynae asked me to check in on 25th to induce. I asked him ytd if I could check in today and give birth tomorrow (25/12) instead but his reply was: “PH hard to find doctors (to inject epidural etc) & also there is a surcharge for everything so it’s not worth it, just do on 26/12 ok.” I’m also delivering in TMC. So yes, in short….. there is a surcharge @.@

The best place to check with is your gynae's clinic. Your gynae and the anaesthetist are probably the ones charging the extra because they are working on PH / Sundays. If you require OT (eg csect), then I think some hospitals also charge extra for PH and Sundays. The nurses at your gynae's clinic will be able to give you a clear answer :) wishing you a smooth delivery!

i doubt there is. it’s quite unfair to do that
