Paediatricians in Singapore (2026)
9 trusted children's doctors — compared by clinic, MRT and specialty. Updated 2026.
Picking a paediatrician is one of the first big decisions a Singapore mum makes. The right doctor sees your baby through every fever, every milestone, and every "is this normal?" question for the first decade of life — so proximity, hospital affiliation and weekend availability matter just as much as credentials.
We've personally verified every paediatric clinic on this list — checking MRT access, opening hours, current pricing, and whether they accept Medisave for vaccinations under Singapore's National Childhood Immunisation Schedule. Each listing links directly to the clinic so you can call, WhatsApp or book without a middleman.
Quick rule of thumb: if you delivered at KKH, NUH, Mount Elizabeth or Thomson Medical, ask your OB-GYN or NICU team for a referral first — newborn check-ups are smoother when records stay within the same hospital network.

Frequently asked questions
How do I choose a paediatrician in Singapore?+
Most Singapore mums pick a paediatrician based on three things: proximity to home or workplace (so sick visits are quick), whether the doctor is affiliated with the hospital where you delivered (continuity of care from newborn check-ups), and clinic hours that cover evenings and weekends. Ask your OB-GYN or NICU team for a referral — they usually know who's accepting new newborns.
When should I book my baby's first paediatrician visit?+
Most paediatricians see babies for the first well-baby check at 1–2 weeks old, then again at 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 12, 15 and 18 months for vaccinations under Singapore's National Childhood Immunisation Schedule. Book your first appointment within the first week of bringing baby home.
How much does a paediatrician visit cost in Singapore?+
Private paediatrician consultation fees typically range from SGD 80–180 per visit, plus medication and vaccines. Subsidised paediatric care is available at KK Women's and Children's Hospital and the National University Hospital (NUH) for citizens and PRs. Many private clinics accept Medisave for selected vaccinations under the National Childhood Immunisation Schedule.
What's the difference between a paediatrician and a GP for my baby?+
A paediatrician has 5+ years of additional specialist training in children's health — they handle complex conditions, developmental concerns, and growth tracking. A GP can manage common illnesses (fever, coughs, mild rashes) and is usually faster and cheaper. Most Singapore parents use a paediatrician for the first 2 years and well-baby checks, then a GP for routine illnesses.
Are paediatricians in Singapore open on weekends?+
Most private paediatric clinics in Singapore are open on Saturdays (typically 9am–1pm). A handful — including KKH 24-hour Children's Emergency and selected SBCC and IMC clinics — operate on Sundays and public holidays. Always call ahead to confirm same-day availability for sick visits.
Which paediatric specialties are available in Singapore?+
Beyond general paediatrics, Singapore has subspecialists in neonatology, paediatric cardiology, neurology, gastroenterology, allergy & immunology, endocrinology, and developmental paediatrics. Most subspecialists are based at KKH, NUH, Mount Elizabeth and Thomson Medical — your general paediatrician will refer you when needed.
