Based on MOH data, cancer treatment in Singapore ranges from $203 to $30,446 in a subsidised ward (Ward C). This covers 13 different conditions and procedures. Costs are after government subsidies but before MediShield Life or private insurance.

Singapore public hospitals offer four ward classes: Ward C (subsidised, 8-9 beds per room), Ward B2 (subsidised, 6 beds), Ward B1 (non-subsidised), and Private (single room). Costs increase significantly from Ward C to Private. Each scenario page shows the full ward comparison.
