It's doable because Singapore is a small city-state, easily regulated, strongly controlled and managed. The largest hospitals are public, and the smaller ones private, i.e., the government has positioned itself to be the main healthcare provider, ergo, their strong ability to manage and control healthcare costs is all but guaranteed. In doing so, they have blocked profiteering, collusion and exploitation by vested interests, but this can be challenging to impossible to achieve in other countries due to the obvious reasons.
