So the question would be, if you are rich / have insurance , how you decide either to go private OR gov for cancer treatment?
if no insurance and no money, don't talk about private, you don't even able to pay deposit.

Why private?
1) no need to wait
2) specialist treatment
3) greater consultation, more option
4) lower risk of failure

the only disadvantage that private might have is their equipment

why government?
1) better equipment

Disadvantage?
1) you need to queue and wait everytime you walk in
2) you need to make appointment (in and out) very frequently
3) those doctors treat you like white mouse
4) lousy consultation, less option
5) high risk of failure

Hmm, this is just too general a question to make a choice. It all boils down to a few circumstances :-

- What type of cancer? (you'd be surprised that some government hospitals are more experienced at treating certain types of cancer than private. Likewise private will also be better at other types. Not only that, even within the sub-govt or sub-private, certain "brand" hospitals will be better at certain cancer treatment types than others. Go research, go ask around, etc)

- Which doctor is where? (some doctors are both in private and govt, so if you trust a particular one, then by all means follow him/her wherever they are at) *i will follow youuuu...follow you wherever you may goooo*

- How much money do you have? (obviously if you are dirt rich, might as well open your scope to international treatments. If you are dirt poor, then no choice but govt. If you are in between, then only this question arises and I cannot choose for you, because only you know your own circumstances)

- Hospital location (somewhat tied down to the above. If you are rich enough your scope just expands. But if you are tied down, or do not have the time or resources to travel to a far hospital, then what choice do we have?)

That aside, there are also other form of treatments apart from hospitals, such as alternative medicine or TCM. I am certainly not endorsing them but what I am sharing is just to give you options and expand your mind to the choices available. Living a healthy, holistic lifestyle will also do good to your body. Cancer treatment also entails your emotions, interpersonal relationships and support. All the best!

Wah 15k for operation is consider cheap. Which private hospital is that? I want to know.

Last time I got one relative go for op at private hospital, cost him 60k.

the 15k is for bladder op lorr,
for the cancer treatment , she's still undergoing .
wise to say its 20k up until now.

I am interested to know name of hospital.

Last time my relative went to surgery, anesthetist alone charge was 5k for 1 hour op.

That's why I am so amaze that the charge is so low.

I'll add in my 2 cents. My dad passed away from cancer, specifically in his lungs and nasal cavity. My grandmother passed away from stomach cancer. My other grandmother passed away from colon cancer. My uncle died of bone cancer. So maybe my words have some merits.

My opinion is that the treatment is more or less equal. The edge private hospitals have over public is the luxury of speedy services and private rooms.

If you can't afford it, public hospital is the way to go. Be prepared to wait. Sometimes cancer can't wait and in those cases like my father's he got priority so that's good too. But you won't be as comfortable as you'd be in a private hospital.

If you can afford it or if you're insured against cancer, then by all means go for private. You'll get more attention and more comfort, which sometimes can mean the difference between life and death.

As for me, I took up a personal insurance against cancer, get checked up often and lead as healthy a lifestyle as I can. If I get diagnosed with cancer, I know I will go for private hospitals.
