My uncle whom is a Singapore citizen, he immigrated to Thailand
after
being retired. He is over the age of 70 and he is in critical
condition. He is admitted to ICU at Hua Chiao Hospital in Bangkok.
But
the medical fee has raised to 120,000 Baht. He doesn't have any
saving
and insurance. Would it be possible to repatriate him to Singapore
for
medical treatment? Please advise what should we do ? Thank.
you shld ask your uncle if he has cpf funds left, specifically
his medisave. that in part can be used as his
hospital expenses. if he has children still residing in
singapore, i think his children too can help pay using their
medisave. or if you are willing to co-pay his hospital expenses, it
can be manageable.
if he is in critical condition, it may be difficult for him to
make the trip down south. so that too warrant some thinking.
