Singaporeans are strongly encouraged to e-register their overseas travel plans with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA), said Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan in a written parliamentary reply on Jan 10.
In the event of a death, MFA will be able to advise the deceased’s next of kin on the procedures in relation to funeral services, local cremation, and/or the repatriation of the body.
“We will help the families reach out to the relevant local authorities to obtain the necessary documentation to repatriate the body or the cremated remains,” said Dr Balakrishnan.
According to Medlink Healthcare Group (MHG), private ambulance services are offered across the Causeway when patients request that they be transported back to Singapore for medical treatment – provided they are deemed clinically stable by medical experts.
Costs vary depending on factors such as distance, equipment required and the type of medical personnel on board. The price ranges from $800 to $3,500 for most trips.
Other private ambulance providers include Goodwill Ambulance Services and First Ambulance & Healthcare.
