About these figures: The room rates and service prices on this page come from Chong Hua Hospital's own published pages — patient room rates and service offers and price lists. Each service section carries its own effective date, noted in the tables below. Chong Hua states that pricing covers procedure costs only — medications and supplies needed during the procedure are not included. Consultation, maternity and surgery totals are not published by the hospital; those tables remain estimates and are labelled as such. Last checked: July 2026.
