Cost for prenatal checks

Question

Hello Mummies!FTM here.I’m a little confused over the private doctors who has their own clinic for example at Mt A / Mt E etc and the doctors are public hospital.The costs are not that different right? I saw someone saying KKH hospital’s consultation charges are also quite expensive? If so, can someone help to explain what the differences are other than the waiting time ?

FTM here as well. From what I know/researched, government hospital under subsidised route means every time the gynae u see is different. They might do lesser scans & the follow-up duration is longer. The nurse at my private gynae said that government hospital sometimes just listen to heartbeat without doing ultrasound. Based on my experience & other mum friends suggestion, they all prefer a private because of the comfort & convenience, & most importantly seeing the same trusted gynae everytime.
