Because there occasionally have been inquiries about this, we thought it would be useful to have in one place a list of stem cell transplant centers in Singapore.
These are the centers in Singapore that we're aware of that do stem cell transplants:
Gleneagles Hospital (Parkway)
National University Hospital (NUH)
Raffles Hospital
Singapore General Hospital (National Cancer Center)
Please let us know if there are other hospitals in Singapore that regularly carry out stem cell transplants and therefore should be included in this list.

Re: Stem cell transplant centers in Singapore
Some information about costs at Singapore stem cell transplant centers was posted in this thread about "Stem cell transplant centers in Asia." We thought it would be useful to include the key information here.
For Parkway (presumably Gleneagles): "For the transplant, this will involve two stages: Stem Cell Harvest. This will involve the patient receiving injections to stimulate his bone marrow, followed by a 2-3 day peripheral blood stem cell harvest. The cost of the stem cell harvest will be approximately $12,000-$15,000 SGD. Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation. This will involve the patient receiving high dose melphalan chemotherapy, followed by stem cell infusion. Recovery period post transplant will take a period of 2-3 weeks. The cost of the autologous stem cell transplant (including high dose chemotherapy, stem cell infusion, 3 weeks in-patient stay) will be approximately $80,000-$100,000 SGD."
For National University Hospital (NUH): "The estimated cost for the Bone Marrow Transplant will be about S$150,000 and above for a non-complicated case and this estimation is before consulting the specialist. The estimation is exclusive of consultation fee, medications, investigations, own accommodation and 7%GST. Full amount of the above mentioned cost will be required upon admission."
"In Singapore General Hospital, a typical Velcade injection (2.3mg, we pay per mg) would cost us about SGD 2,000. Stem cell harvest was SGD 40K, and stem cell transplant was SGD 60K. (And of course, it depends on how long you recover.) We did this back in 2012/2013, and I heard there has been a price increase of 5% this past month. So I don't know how much do these treatments cost today. "
As of July 1, 2014, 1 US dollar equals about 1.25 Singapore dollars. So something that costs 1,250 Singapore dollars would cost 1,000 US dollars.
