Hi Pofy,
If you are going for Subsidised rates at KKH, you have to excercise careful considerations since you said yours is a complicated case.
Before I signed on with a Gynae at KKH, I was under the subsidized rate in clinic C. in such case,you will not a specific Gynae taking care of you. Instead, a team of Doc will be incharge of you and chances that you see a different doc in every visit.
My sister was diabetic during her pregnancy and she also went for Clinic C for subsidized rates due to budget then. She was quite well taken care of and suggested I do the same for my pregnancy.
Like her, initially I opt for Subsidised rates at Clinic C. Each time I see a different doc. I have to repeat my case (IVF pregnancy) as some doctors do not flip through the medical files and check on the previous records. Not to say, waiting time is also pretty long.
To share 1 incident: during my early pregnancy, I had very light spotting. One day, I encountered bleeding and went to 24 hr clinic and was seen by an Indian doc. She merely scanned the tummy and showed me bb’s heartbeat and said baby was ok. No injection or medication was given to stablise the pregnancy; just gave me MC n told me to rest at home.
After I left KK that day, bleeding didn’t stop and became worse. I went to see a pte gynae at a pte clinic nearby on the same day and was shock to find out that I might be suffering from a threatened abortion. He quickly up my dosage of duphaston n gave me a jab to stablise the pregnancy. Imagine.had I not gone to the Pte Gynae, I would have lost my little angel.
Since then, I decided I need to choose a good Gynae and be seen by him only for the rest of pregnancy. At least he has every background of my medical history.
All in all, it’s based on luck, my sister was lucky to have a team of good doctors taking care of her, for my case, the team of doctors weren’t too fantastic…
