I'll start with what I'm familiar with one by one The premise is that insurance is required in any country, and commercial insurance is the minimum configuration. Of course, it is also possible to buy global medical insurance in certain countries and regions, such as Hong Kong, where medical insurance from countries outside the United States can be purchased. Singapore: Treating a doctor is as troublesome and expensive as a dog. If it is not an emergency and not hospitalized, one must first go to a small clinic for treatment. Doctors can delay and prescribe medication if they can. Only when they are clear that they cannot handle it, will they send a referral letter to the hospital. If foreign nationals actually enter the hospital, they will mostly choose private hospitals. On the one hand, public hospitals do not provide subsidies and the waiting time is uncontrollable. On the other hand, the service experience is indeed average. Fortunately, insurance usually covers private hospitals. The medical level itself is above average, with no problems with common diseases, surgeries, or examinations. However, as long as it involves severe illness, complex treatment, or long-term plans, many people around them will eventually choose Japan or go directly to the United States. Therefore, Singapore is more like a country where daily necessities are sufficient but severe illnesses need to be considered. Japan: Language is the biggest barrier, and the time cost is extremely high. The medical system is very solid, and doctors have high professionalism. Their patience for complex diseases, chronic diseases, and severe illnesses is significantly higher than in Southeast Asian countries. Prices are also relatively affordable in developed countries, but the biggest problem is always language and procedures. In Japan, when seeking medical treatment, it is often not about whether one can have a good outlook, but whether one can smoothly complete the entire process from beginning to end. The level of English friendliness is highly dependent on the city and hospital, and the process is very detailed, resulting in high time costs. However, entering the medical insurance system, especially for long-term residence, makes treatment in Japan very stable. Thailand: Good service experience and low cost. The private system is actually very friendly to foreigners. Public hospitals have little significance for foreigners, while top private hospitals have smooth English communication, smooth procedures, and strong service awareness. Due to lower labor costs compared to Singapore and Japan, service quality is better and prices are lower. As long as there is insurance, overall control is possible. Of course, don't worry about severe illnesses in Thailand, but underlying and common diseases are still not a problem. Malaysia and Vietnam: minor illnesses are local, major illnesses fly. The difference between these two places is not very big, but Malaysia is closer to Singapore, and the doctors have a better background. Private hospitals can speak both Chinese and English, and more serious illnesses can be treated in Singapore. However, Vietnam is a bit difficult to describe. Although private hospitals are also available, language is still a problem. International hospitals in big cities can also be used to treat minor illnesses, so small cities should seek more blessings on their own. If it's Malaysia compared to Vietnam, I think Malaysia's rating will be higher, and it's also very close to Singapore. If it's slightly more severe, you can go directly to Singapore for treatment. Overall, having insurance is essential. Having insurance is not a problem for many illnesses, but if it's not possible, you can fly. @bitget VIP, Lower rates and more generous benefits
