Choosing between Government/Public Hospitals or Private Hospitals/Day Medical Centres?
Government/public hospitals offer cheaper fees, but they have the longest waiting times, often requiring a wait of at least one month or more. They may not be suitable for patients with urgent medical conditions.
Private hospitals, on the other hand, are more expensive, but they offer shorter waiting times and assured professionalism. They are suitable for patients who have the financial means to afford their services.
Day medical centres offer more affordable fees compared to private hospitals, while maintaining an equally high level of professionalism. Additionally, they have shorter waiting times, allowing patients to schedule their imaging examinations within a short period.
Unless there is a specific preference, day medical centres are often the optimal choice.
