Disadvantages of Singapore as an egg freezing destination for mainland China patients

Singapore’s upcoming social egg-freezing policy could attract medical tourists from China, where it is likely to remain banned, opined Dr Alexis Heng Boon Chin, an Associate Professor of Biomedical Science at Peking University, China. He notes that rising costs of living and childcare in many large Chinese cities mean women are increasingly delaying motherhood for career pursuits. Many could benefit from overseas egg freezing but restrictions, such as a maximum age of 35 and a requirement to be married, may hinder Singapore from tapping into this market. Dr Chin also notes that Singapore doesn’t permit preimplantation genetic testing – Aneuploidy (PGT-A), which could lead to a loss of Chinese medical tourists to other countries.
