CHICAGO & SINGAPORE--(Business Wire)--
Nearly one half of all foreign patients who travel to Singapore
for medical care are treated at Parkway Hospitals
(www.ParkwayHealth.com) reports Parkway Health, Asia's leading
healthcare provider with the largest network of private hospitals and
healthcare services headquartered in Singapore. Quality clinical
outcomes and service excellence distinguish Parkway programs, with
Singapore now attracting more than 400,000 medical travelers a year.
"There are three good reasons why Singapore emerges as a top
medical travel destination and Parkway Health as the hospitals of
choice -- access, cost and quality," says Thomas Johnsrud, consultant
for Parkway Health North America. "Singapore and Parkway feature
attractive price points well below costs in the United States or other
parts of the world, superior access to a wide range of medical
procedures and the highest quality."
Dan Snyder, group executive vice president and group chief
operating officer of Parkway Health will deliver a keynote address,
"Extending the Global Continuum of Care by Linking US and
International Stakeholders," at the Health Care Globalization Summit,
Wednesday May 7, 2008, 3:10 p.m.- 4:30 p.m., The Venetian Hotel &
Casino, Las Vegas, NV.

The Parkway Health Singapore Operations Division manages three
hospitals: East Shore, Gleneagles and Mount Elizabeth with a combined
capacity of more than 1,000 beds.
"Singapore appeals to American employers as one the cleanest and
safest English-speaking cities in the world, important factors in
designing a medical travel benefit for their workforces," adds
Johnsrud.
