Maternity package prices in Singapore: each hospital's 2026 rates and typical bills

A maternity package in Singapore is the hospital's fixed price for your delivery stay: the room, the standard delivery procedure and routine care, usually for two days after a normal birth and three after a caesarean. Your doctor's fees sit outside it. On the hospitals' own pages, private packages for a normal delivery start at S$3,407.34 for a 4-bedded room at Thomson Medical Centre, and a single room runs from S$4,188 at Gleneagles to S$4,327.30 at Mount Alvernia. Once doctors' fees are added, MOH's figures show a typical total bill of about S$950 to S$1,600 in a subsidised public ward and S$8,400 to S$13,400 for a private single room. Below are the published package prices with their dates, MOH's typical bill for every hospital, what packages leave out and how much MediSave covers.

Private maternity package prices, as published

These are the prices each private hospital shows on its own website, checked on 11 October 2026. They cover hospital charges only, not your obstetrician's or anaesthetist's fees.

Mount Elizabeth, Mount Elizabeth Novena, Parkway East and Raffles Hospital ask you to book a maternity tour or enquire for package prices, so for those use MOH's typical bills below. KKH, NUH and SGH work differently: KKH has an online bill estimator, and NUH gives you an estimate at a financial counselling session between 28 and 32 weeks.

Typical total bill at every hospital

MOH publishes the median total bill for each hospital and ward type, including doctors' fees, ward charges and medicines. These are its figures for an uncomplicated vaginal delivery (TOSP code SI836U) and an uncomplicated caesarean (SI834U), from a page updated on 11 October 2026. Half of patients paid less than the typical bill.

The gap between a package price and a typical bill is mostly the doctors' fees. At Thomson, for example, the 1-bedded package is S$4,316.40 but the typical bill is S$10,802. To run your own numbers, try our delivery cost calculator, and our guide to the cost of having a baby covers what comes after.

What a maternity package covers, and what it doesn't

Thomson's terms are typical. Its package covers the standard delivery procedure, your room for up to three nights and the standard treatment that goes with the delivery, and it lists what's billed separately:

• Your doctor's professional and attendance fees
• Your baby's nursery stay, supplies, vaccinations and treatment
• Extra consumables, tests and procedures if they're clinically needed
• Operating theatre surcharges from 8pm to 7am, and lab and scan surcharges after hours
• A half-day room charge if you leave after 11am, and a full day after 6pm

Mount Alvernia's packages also cover hospital charges only, though they include the companion fee for one adult with three meals. Unused items, vaccinations among them, aren't refunded. Both hospitals charge the higher package price if you switch room type after admission. Ask for the inclusion list and an itemised estimate before you book.

Doctors' fees: MOH's benchmarks

MOH publishes fee benchmarks for doctors in private practice, as ranges for a routine case, with GST:

• Normal vaginal delivery: S$2,507 to S$4,142 for the obstetrician, S$817.50 to S$1,090 for an epidural
• Uncomplicated caesarean: S$4,142 to S$5,886 for the obstetrician, S$1,308 to S$2,180 for the anaesthetist
• Daily ward rounds: S$230 to S$450 a day, office hours only

In subsidised public wards you don't choose your doctor; KKH says subsidised patients get team-based care led by an assigned specialist. If you want one doctor throughout, our guide to choosing a gynae covers how fees and hospitals fit together, and our epidural and labour pain relief guide explains what the anaesthetist's fee pays for.

How much MediSave covers

The MediSave Maternity Package works the same in public and private hospitals. Thomson's and Mount Alvernia's package tables list the most you can claim for the delivery:

• Normal delivery: S$3,380
• Assisted delivery: S$3,650
• Caesarean: S$5,040
• Plus up to S$900 for pre-delivery care such as check-ups and scans, if you hand in the original receipts

MOH's MediSave page explains how those limits are built: a surgical amount for your type of delivery, plus up to S$1,130 a day for the first two days in hospital and S$400 a day after that. You can only claim what's in your account, and never more than the bill. In a subsidised ward that often covers most of it; in a private room it covers less than half of a typical bill. Our MediSave maternity package guide goes through the claim step by step.

Deposits and when you pay

Expect to pay a deposit on admission. Thomson's deposit for a MediSave patient in a 1-bedded room is S$4,500 for a normal delivery and S$5,900 for a caesarean, rising to S$7,500 and S$10,000 without MediSave. Mount Alvernia collects the full package price as a deposit if you use MediSave, and the package price plus S$2,500 if you don't. NUH bases its deposit on your whole estimated bill and collects it after financial counselling at 28 to 32 weeks.

How to choose a package

Start with the typical bill rather than the package price, because that's closer to what you'll pay. Then weigh privacy, the doctor you want and your budget. If cord blood banking is in your plans, check whether your hospital or bank charges for collection; our cord blood banking guide compares the options. If you may need a caesarean, compare the three-day prices too, and read our C-section recovery guide for the stay itself. Our hospital bag checklist shows what each hospital's package already supplies.
