Against waiting or paying in the UK
We have not found an official waiting-time figure for a health check-up in the UK.
Paying privately in the UK: £385–£1,120, from HCA Healthcare UK.
Can the NHS pay?
NHS and HSE schemes do not reach Singapore. The NHS S2 route covers state treatment in the EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, and the HSE schemes cover the EU, EEA, the UK and Switzerland. Treatment in Singapore is paid by you or by a private insurer who agrees in advance. NHS S2 route, HSE Treatment Abroad Scheme.
Planning the trip from the UK
- Get a written quoteSend the clinic your referral or reason for a health check-up and ask for an itemised price in writing, with the date and what happens if the result needs follow-up.
- Before you goMost packages need you to fast from the night before. Book a morning slot.
- Before you goAsk what happens if a test finds something: is a specialist available the same week, and at what price?
- Entry rulesCheck the official advice before booking: UK citizens (FCDO entry requirements).
- LanguageEnglish is an official language and the working language of hospitals.
- After you returnBring the full report to your doctor, not just the summary page.
- After you returnTreat a "borderline" or "follow up" note as a reason to see your doctor, not as a diagnosis.

Health check-up in Singapore from the UK: questions
How much is a health check-up in Singapore for UK patients?
The published prices we found work out at £321–£7,420 at the clinic, from Raffles Hospital. Adding a rough travel estimate of £1,010 for a return flight and a hotel, the trip comes to about £1,330. Your own fares and dates will change that part.
Is it cheaper than paying privately in the UK?
No, not on these example figures: the lowest self-pay price we found at home is £385, about £946 less than the cheapest trip. It can make sense if you are already travelling to Singapore.
How long is the wait for a health check-up in the UK?
We have not found an official waiting-time figure for this in the UK.
How many days do I need in Singapore?
Half a day to one day for most packages; packages with endoscopy or several scans can take two days. That is our planning estimate, not medical advice; ask the clinic for its schedule in writing.
Will the NHS pay for it?
No. The NHS S2 route covers state treatment in the EU and a few other European countries; Singapore is outside it.
