SINGAPORE – On March 15, Mr Robert Putra Sampurna, 34, felt a sudden sharp pain in his abdomen while driving in his home town of Surabaya, Indonesia.
Mr Sampurna, who owns a firm that imports power tools from China, told The Straits Times that he was willing to endure the discomfort a little longer in order to get treated in Singapore. A spokesman for Raffles Hospital said the number of foreign patients seen at the hospital is back to that in pre-Covid-19 days, accounting for 25 per cent of its patient load. The majority of them are from Indonesia, followed closely by China and Indochina.
He said this is because these patients tend to be sicker or have more complex problems, as a result of pandemic-delayed treatment.
