Going on holiday to have some kind of operation is still not our idea of a good time, but medical tourism seems to really be catching on: going wherever you can to get a "good quality operation" without a high cost or a long waiting list, and with a bit of bonus sightseeing time thrown in. Singapore's recently been promoting itself as a good place for an op and the Singapore Marriott Hotel has also jumped on the medical tourism bandwagon:

Singapore Marriott is literally located within five minutes walk from the renowned Mount Elizabeth Hospital, in the centre of the city, as well as to other major popular hospitals.  The hotel offers a respite for those having surgery to recuperate from and also have their family members close by their side - with all the comforts of home on hand, together with gracious service and hospitality.

The location of the Marriott is very central to all key areas of Singapore, not just the hospitals, but recent reviews suggest that the plus points end there (unless its funky pagoda shape counts). For an expensive, luxury hotel, many guests complain that service is below average and the restaurant food is nothing special. Be warned also at the moment that there is building going on next door, so your resting up period after the hospital stint mightn't be as peaceful as Marriott would like you to think.

    Re: Get Well Soon at Singapore Marriott

    Sirs/Ms:  As author of "Patients Behond Borders," I've toured Singapore's hospitals, including Mount Elizabeth, and can say from firsthand experience Singapore's medical travel facilities are among the world's finest.

    You may be interested to know that Singapore Medicine and Healthy Travel Media are collaborating on a "Special Singapore Edition of Patients Beyond Borders: Everybody's Guide to Affordable, World-Class Medical Tourism."  This is the Singapore Edition of the acclaimed "Patients Beyond Borders," released earlier this year.

    As author, I'm eager to know more about Marriott's medical travel program, and happy to share information with you about this project.  You can reach me at jwoodman@healthtraveler.net, and you can obtain more information by visiting www.patientsbeyondborders.com.  Any information you can supply me would be greatly appreciated.
