Having the most advanced equipment is important for Singapore, whose main rivals in the hospitality medical industry - Malaysia and Thailand - have a competitive advantage in terms of pricing.
Newly introduced advanced technologies tend to lure patients from neighboring countries, particularly from Indonesia, whose citizens are perhaps the largest revenue contributors for Singapore’s medical industry.
