Community hospitals up fees
By Amresh Gunasingham
THREE of the largest community hospitals here have raised their prices sharply, and a fourth is set to follow suit.

Soaring costs of food, medical supplies and qualified staff had forced them to so, they told The Straits Times.

Revised ward charges for the cheapest beds have increased by at least $50. Some patients will end up paying $3,900 - almost double the previous charges - for a typical month-long stay in C-class wards.

Read the full report in Tuesday's edition of The Straits Times.
