Couples with conceiving plan may need a more comprehensive assessment. This might include tests to identify couples at high risk of having a child with a serious heritable disorder.

7 Best IVF Centres in Singapore (2025) for Foreigners

Singapore is the right choice if you are looking for an overseas medical destination with the latest assisted productive technologies. Since 1982, Singapore fertility specialists have been successful in their IVF programs, resulting in Asia’s first IVF baby born in the country in 1983. In the recent decade, Singapore is a trusted destination for couples with infertility issues, especially those with complicated medical conditions.

In Singapore, IVF services are available at both public and private hospitals. Currently, there are 3 public fertility centres (operated by the three major public hospitals) and around 8 private fertility centres (situated at major private hospitals and medical centres).

A public fertility centre is often the priority of Singaporean couples who are struggling with infertility. It is simply because Singaporeans can get up to 75% of the costs co-funded by the government when being treated at a public hospital. This subsidy scheme doesn’t apply to non-citizens, so you have to pay the full price no matter what kind of hospital you choose. For that reason, patients from surrounding countries tend to seek treatment at Singapore’s private hospitals to enjoy better customer services and a shorter waiting time to see a specialist.

In this article, there are 4 private and 3 public fertility centres recommended. Please note that not all of them are located on the premises of a hospital. Thomson Fertility Centre and Virtus Fertility Centre are the two private institutes sitting at medical centres outside a hospital.

When a fertility centre is hospital-based, you can expect that all the IVF procedures that need sedation will be done in the hospital it sits in. But when it is situated outside a hospital, egg retrieval and embryo transfer procedures will be performed at one of the hospitals in the city.

Despite this, all the private centres are large-scale, equipped with the latest technologies and the most experienced fertility specialist. Mount Elizabeth Fertility Centre has long been famous as a reliable destination for overseas couples with complicated medical conditions. 3 out of 4 private centres in this list are located in the Orchard area, making it convenient to arrange accommodation, get around, and enjoy other services Singapore has to offer.

People decide to go with a private healthcare institute for many reasons. It could be for better customer service, shorter waiting time for an appointment to see a specialist, easy access to a clinic, a preferred doctor, or for all.

If you are considering having IVF treatment at a private place, then this article is for you.

In Singapore, the number of private IVF clinics is much larger than those of the public. Currently, there are more than 20 private clinics offering IVF services, while the number of public places is limited to 3 (those belong to KK Women’s & Children’s Hospital, Singapore National Hospital, and National University Hospital).

While the public fertility centres are of large scale with a big team of specialists, the private clinics are usually home to a single specialist.

The majority of private practice doctors are those who have has many years of experience in public hospitals. When entering the private healthcare sector, they set up their clinics at a private medical centre or hospital. Some even have their offices at two or three different places to make their service more accessible for patients.

Major private hospitals such as Mount Elizabeth Hospital, Mount Elizabeth Novena Hospital, Gleneagle Hospital, Parkway East Hospital, Raffles Hospital, Mount Alvernia Hospital, and Thomson Medical Centre are where to find a private practice fertility doctor. They can also be found at a medical centre outside a hospital, such as Paragon Medical centre and Scotts Medical Centre.

5 Best IVF Centres for Singaporean Couples

IVF is never an easy journey. But it is one of the most worth-trying journeys one can take in life. If you are going to embark on it then read our guide to find out all the must-knows.

WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING AN IVF CLINIC:

• Success rate: IVF success rate is a must-ask while looking around to find the right fertility clinic. It is important because the proven success rates ensure the chance of achieving your dream of having a baby. The higher the clinical pregnancy rates, the higher your chance of getting pregnant.

• Specialist: There are clinics where the specialist is the one who manages the patient treatment every step of the way. There are also clinics where only the important tasks are taken care of by the specialist, the rest is left in the hands of the team’s healthcare professionals. So, make sure you know who will manage your treatment to ensure that you are provided with continuity of care and the best possible chance to solve your issue.

• Location: To many couples, IVF treatment is a hard and long journey to take. It requires couples to travel back and forth between home and the clinic often. So, make sure the fertility clinic you go with is located in a convenient location to save you time and hassle.

STEPS TO EXPECT DURING IVF:

1. Pituitary suppression: Your natural cycle is suppressed with the use of medication (GnRH agonist/antagonist).
2. Ovarian stimulation: A fertility hormone (FSH) is injected daily for between 9 to 14 days to encourage the ovaries to produce more eggs than usual.
3. Egg monitoring: The egg development is monitored via ultrasound to make sure the number and size of the eggs are adequate before aiding their maturation by the final injection.
4. Egg retrieval and semen collection: Eggs are retrieved by inserting a needle through the vaginal canal. Semen sample needs to be collected on the day of the egg retrieval procedure.
5. Fertilization: The eggs and the sperm are mixed together in an incubator for a few days to allow them to be fertilized.
6. Embryo transfer: Embryo transfer occurs two to five days after egg retrieval.
7. Pregnancy test: Your pregnancy blood test is due about 14 days after the embryo transfer.

HOW ARE THE IVF TREATMENT FEES CALCULATED?
IVF treatment fees often break down into three main types of cost:

1. Pre-treatment costs: Including the consultation fee for your first appointment with your specialist and the charges for initial tests.
2. IVF cycle costs: They are the charges for medications, egg retrieval, embryo transfer, laboratory charges, hospital accommodation, anesthetic service, use of operating theatre, nursing fees, and others.
3. Advanced science costs: Advanced scientific techniques such as PGD may be required, depending on your individual needs.

HOW MUCH ARE THE PRE-TREATMENT COSTS?

• Consultation fee: S$150 – S$300
• Fertility tests: S$240 – S$440

HOW MUCH DO THE IVF CYCLES COST?

• Fertility medication: S$2,500 – S$3,500
• Egg monitoring: From S$1000
• Egg retrieval: S$3,550 – S$10,000
• Sperm collection: From S$1,250
• Embryo transfer: S$1,500 – S$5,500

HOW MUCH DOES THE ADVANCED SCIENCE COST?

• Laser-assisted hatching: S$150 to S$600
• Blastocyst culture: S$150 to S$300
• PGD: Can be up to over S$10,000

So, in summary, costs of IVF treatment at public hospitals range between S$10,000 and S$15,000 per cycle while it starts from S$7,999 and can go up to S$20,000 per cycle at private hospitals.

GOVERNMENT SUBSIDY FOR IVF: MOH CO-FUNDING
As long as there is one person in the couple is a Singapore citizen, you can get MOH co-funding when seeking IVF treatment at public hospitals which are:

• KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital
• National University Hospital
• Singapore General Hospital

Couple’s citizenship	MOH co-funding (fresh cycles)	MOH co-funding (frozen cycle)
SG citizen + SG citizen	75% (up to $7,700)	75% (up to $2,200)
SG citizen + PR	55% (up to $5,700)	55% (up to $1,600)
SG citizen + Foreigner	35% (up to $3,600)	35% (up to $1,000)

GOVERNMENT SUBSIDY FOR IVF: THE USE OF MEDISAVE
This applies to Singaporean and PR couples, which allows you to use your Medisave to pay for IVF treatment. The maximum amount one can withdraw in a lifetime for this kind of treatment is $15,000.

IVF cycle	Medisave limit
1st	$6,000
2nd	$5,000
3rd & subsequent	$4,000

PROS AND CONS WHEN GETTING IVF TREATMENT AT PUBLIC AND PRIVATE HOSPITALS:

	Pros	Cons
Public hospitals	Lower cost (co-funding)	Longer waiting time for an appointment to see a specialist
Private hospitals	Shorter waiting time for an appointment to see a specialist Customer service is of better quality	Higher cost (No co-funding)

Couples who decide to go to a private hospital for IVF treatment should consider prenatal insurance that covers IVF to keep the cost manageable. Check it out with insurers like AIA, AXA, and Pacific Prime Singapore for those kinds of insurance.

Answer for Where are the best places to rent costumes in Singapore?

Costume parties are always fun and choosing your outfit should also be an enjoyable experience. The holiday season is the perfect excuse to throw a party, even if it’s just for your closest friends and family. If you are planning to rent a costume anytime soon, here are my recommended places to rent costumes in Singapore.

Awesome Costumes

I have an annual year-end costume party with a certain group of friends and this is our go-to costume rental place since they give discounts for group rentals. Last year, our theme was Heroes and Villains. I went as Wonder Woman and won Best Costume! Thanks to the alteration service of Awesome Costumes, my costume fit perfectly. I truly felt like an Amazonian Warrior! The shop owner, Grace Wong, is a graduate from Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA) – School of Fashion Studies, so she certainly knows her work. She is very hands on with her shop and she is often around to assist her customers. Her staff are also very kind and patient.

Customade Costume & Merchandise

Customade Costume & Merchandise, more popularly known as CCM, is a family-run costume customizations and rental business that has been around for more than 20 years. They have over 20,000 costumes to choose from and more than 15,000 accessories. If you have no idea what to pick, the staff are ready to help you out and suggest the perfect look for you according to your taste. Their wide range of costumes include superheroes, fairytale and cinema characters, international costumes, work-related outfits, and medieval regalia. They also have garments for different occasions like Christmas, Halloween, and Chinese New Year.

 

Moephosis Concepts

This is worth mentioning because of its owner, Moe Kasim, who is an award-winning costume designer. Moephosis Concept first started as a costume provider mainly for local theatre productions. It later expanded as a costume rental business in 2008. Moe has also ventured into creating costumes for Miss Universe Singapore candidates. With all of his accolades, you can expect top quality costumes from Moephosis Concept. I also love how their costumes are well-maintained. They all look and smell good as new. You certainly don’t want a dirty and smelly costume! Moephosis Concept is your best bet if you are attending a fancy dinner and dance or a semi-formal costume party that warrants an elaborate and top quality costume. Don’t forget to book your appointment first before going for fittings.

Answer for Where can I buy cheap furniture in Singapore?

There are quite a few shops to buy cheap furniture in Singapore. Here are my recommendations for those who are planning to move  to a new place, new couples who are starting their new life together, or homeowners who are simply looking to replace an old bed or sofa. 

Castlery

I bought my new queen-size bed on sale at Castlery and I absolutely love it! It was also a great shopping experience, thanks to the very helpful staff who were not pushy. Castlery sells good quality Scandinavian-inspired furniture at affordable prices. I got my bed for S$690. It was quite a steal! You can shop at Castlery online or visit their studio at Jit Poh Building. Delivery fee is free for purchases above S$300.

Courts

Courts is more known as an electronics and appliance chain, but their furniture section is also worth a look. Watch for their constant deals and promotions to get a good price. Sofa beds can go as low as S$179, 2-seater sofas for S$199, and dining table sets for S$299. You can even pay in installments through their FlexiPlan financing option. You can check out their online shop or drop by any of their 12 outlets around the island.

FortyTwo  

FortyTwo is a 100% online furniture shop that does not have a showroom anywhere in the city. It is a homegrown company that has over 20,000 items in its catalogue. With that much choice, it is certainly possible that you can furnish your entire house from their collection. You can even buy everything from the sale section! Prices for dining tables start at S$145, coffee tables at S$80, 2-seater sofas at S$290, and queen-sized beds at S$530. Delivery is free if you spend S$300 or more,

BedandBasics

BedandBasics is another exclusively online furniture shop that claims to sell items at factory direct prices. Other come ons include Lowest Price Matching scheme, 100-day return policy, and free delivery for purchases above S$150. Always check their clearance sale section to get discounts up to 75%.
