Especially in Singapore where it is warm enough for flora and fauna to flourish year \u2018round! At least a third of the people in Singapore experience nasal allergies, and if we also include food and other types of allergies this number will no doubt raise considerably. It comes as no surprise, then, that our article on allergies in Singapore would attract a great number of people that are interested in the topic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What readers liked:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Not only does this article provide information that allergy sufferers in Singapore can relate to, it also likely included some points that they were less than familiar with. For instance, a list of allergy symptoms may seem standard, but most people would not know that diarrhea can be a symptom of allergies. The article also discusses treating allergy symptoms in Singapore, but, perhaps more importantly for some, it also addresses covering the costs of tests and treatment related to them as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What to remember:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The prevalence of allergies is actually increasing on a global scale. There are various theories as to why this is true, but regardless of the causation, it\u2019s important for people to be aware of potential allergens they encounter regularly. These can be foods commonly found in Singapore like shellfish or peanuts, or also something as small and undetectable as dust mites.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>4. <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.sg\/blog\/2017\/06\/19\/electronic-medical-records-singapore\/\"><b>Electronic medical records to bring innovation boost to Singapore healthcare<\/b><\/a><b> (June 19<\/b><b>th<\/b><b>)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always on the forefront of medical technology, the Singapore healthcare system is among the very best in the world. Hospitals in Singapore can boast the most cutting edge technologies available, as well as doctors that are performing, if not pioneering, the latest medical procedures. However, one area where having highly developed technology is likely to be taken for granted by many people is in medical record keeping. Nevertheless, when we found out that a new record keeping technology was being implemented in Singapore, we wanted to find out more about it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What readers liked:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This article primarily answered the two main questions. The first of these is perhaps the question most likely to pop up in people&#8217;s\u2019 minds if the topic of electronic medical records are brought up: \u201cWhat are the benefits?\u201d The other is more applicable to Pacific Prime and our members: \u201cWill electronic medical records bring about any changes to health insurance in Singapore?\u201d Find out the answers to both by reading the article at the link above.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What to remember:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> While people may have some concerns over cyber security when it comes to medical records, having electronic medical records is much more efficient that relying on paper files. Patient\u2019s doctors can much more quickly and easily share the data necessary to make correct diagnosis and treatment recommendations in a much more timely fashion. Not to mention that patients can more easily access their own data for whatever purposes they may need it for.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>3. <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.sg\/blog\/2017\/03\/10\/health-initiatives-budget-2017\/\"><b>New Ministry of Health initiatives announced in Singapore\u2019s 2017 budget<\/b><\/a><b> (March 10<\/b><b>th<\/b><b>) <\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Singapore is a dynamic city. Like many major world cities, the leadership in the Lion City are not ones to rest on their laurels. After all, if you want to be a great city, you have to do what it takes to stand out on the world stage, and that usually means having trailblazing policy. This is as true for the healthcare sector as it is for any other, so when the government announced its budget for 2017, we wanted to highlight some of the new Ministry of Health (MoH) initiatives that went along with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What readers liked:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Readers no doubt wanted to find out about any potential changes implemented by the MoH that might affect them, their family, or their friends. Fortunately for anyone reading the article, most of the changes were decidedly beneficial to the general health and wellbeing of all Singaporeans. These include cheaper health screenings, an increase in the smoking age, an increase in the number of healthcare staff and medical clinics, increased focus on mental health, healthier food options, and more!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What to remember:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If you are an expat in Singapore, changes to the public healthcare system might sound great, but you may not have access to them. Only expats with PR status will have full access to a Medisave account and all of the public health subsidies that local Singaporeans are afforded. Many expats will have to turn to more expensive private hospitals for their medical needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>2. <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.sg\/blog\/2017\/10\/06\/public-and-private-hospitals-differences\/\"><b>Public and private hospitals in Singapore: Key differences expats should know<\/b><\/a><b> (October 6<\/b><b>th<\/b><b>) <\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here at Pacific Prime Singapore, as a specialist in providing international private medical insurance, selling plans to expats is our \u2018bread and butter\u2019, so to speak. Due to the aforementioned limitations on expatriate access to public healthcare in the city-state, we like to make sure that new arrivals to Singapore are made aware of the key differences between public and private medical facilities, so that they have a clear picture of what they will be using, and what options are available to others. That\u2019s where this article comes in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What readers liked:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> There are a lot of differences between public and private medical facilities in Singapore. This piece does an excellent job of discussing numerous areas where this is true, and just what the differences are. Areas covered include wait times, appointments, comfort, doctors, communication, equipment, geography, motivation, and subsidized care. Truly, this is an excellent and comprehensive resource for expats in Singapore.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What to remember:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Singapore is a world class city with world class healthcare, but that doesn\u2019t mean that all medical facilities here are created equal. Take the time to learn about the options in your area and the costs of each. If you are in a situation where you must use private healthcare, the costs can be substantial, so securing an insurance plan through an experienced insurance broker like Pacific Prime Singapore can potentially save you a bundle.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>1. <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pacificprime.sg\/blog\/2017\/01\/13\/healthy-eating-in-singapore\/\"><b>Healthy eating in Singapore: What you need to know<\/b><\/a><b> (January 13<\/b><b>th<\/b><b>)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is our most popular article of 2017! Following 2016\u2019s holiday season, and all the delicious, sugary, fattening treats that went along with it, we wanted to remind our readers of how important healthy living is to our happiness and longevity. Thus, we produced this article on what people should know about healthy eating in Singapore. It\u2019s good to reread this type of topic regularly, as scientific and medical consensus over what constitutes as healthy eating \u00a0\u2013 and, on the other hand, the types of foods we should steer clear of \u2013 seems to change on a somewhat regular basis. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What readers liked: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Readers no doubt appreciated the holistic approach to healthy eating that this piece takes. It doesn\u2019t just say, \u201cBe a vegan,\u201d or anything so simple, but rather highlights many different aspects of healthy eating. Not only does this article discuss what can be eaten in order to achieve a balanced diet, it also provides the many benefits that doing so can provide to you. \u00a0Also discussed are some popular healthy Singaporean dishes, and other healthy lifestyle tips to lead you to good health.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What to remember:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> While most people focus on diet and exercise when it comes to good health, not enough emphasis is placed on getting a proper amount of sleep each night. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another oft overlooked aspect of a healthy lifestyle is limiting the intake of alcohol. Not only can drinking alcohol add a great deal of calories or carbs to the body, it can have other detrimental effects on the body and its proper function.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We hope that you had a chance to read some of our best health insurance articles above, or some of our other blog posts, in 2017.
