About Children's Medical Institute
Children's Medical Institute is a paediatric healthcare provider located at 5 Lower Kent Ridge Road, Singapore 119074, within the National University Hospital complex. KakiList has verified its operating details and contact channels. It carries a Google rating of 3.8 out of 5 across 44 reviews, which represents a moderate sample size. No regulatory licences have been provided to KakiList for this listing, and no ACRA registration has been confirmed; parents are advised to verify the clinic's MOH Healthcare Services Licence and the consulting doctors' Singapore Medical Council (SMC) registration directly before booking.
For a first paediatric visit, parents may arrive via direct walk-in or by referral from a GP or polyclinic — a referral letter to a public hospital specialist outpatient clinic (SOC) typically reduces the consultation fee for Singapore Citizens and allows MediShield Life to contribute, though non-urgent SOC waits can run four to twelve weeks. At a private or institutional paediatric clinic, the first specialist consultation is typically S$120–250 without a referral. The paediatrician will review developmental milestones, the National Childhood Immunisation Programme (NIP) vaccination record, and any presenting concern. Investigations such as a full blood count, urine culture, or chest X-ray may be ordered on the same visit. Parents should bring the child's immunisation booklet, previous medical summaries, and their Integrated Shield Plan (IP) policy details to discuss coverage before any procedure is arranged.
To begin, contact Children's Medical Institute by phone or through the enquiry form listed on KakiList, and ask for the consulting paediatrician's name and SMC registration number, the clinic's MOH Healthcare Services Licence reference, and a guide to consultation fees and MediSave or insurance eligibility before confirming the appointment.
Verify the doctor's name on the Singapore Medical Council register and the clinic's MOH Healthcare Services Licence before booking, and for any planned procedure request a written financial counselling estimate that itemises insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portions before paying any deposit.
The wayfinding is really thoughtful (small feedback to consider signage on the auto-swing door) as the wayfind signage sticker on the side walls were not as obvious. It is not intuitive as visitors were relying on overhead signs. Queue management system was accurate and easy to follow. Lastly, staff were hospitable. The backend staff whom we met along the overhead linkway went out of his way to guide us to Zone E. When I referred another family trying to find CE to him, he promptly stepped forward instead of brushing it off. Kudos to NUH team! 🫶🏼
their new location is abit of a walk along ulu walkways. Once you get there, you'll see nice friendly decor. the waiting area can be a little warm but they have fans to try to help. there are different floors and the flow of patients is pretty smooth. doctors and nurses are nice and professional
This NUH children medical centre is nicely decorated and very child friendly. Short waiting time from registration to triage. Doctors, staffs, Physiotherapist are good, helpful and friendly. A special mention goes to Dr Lawrence Wang, an experienced and details doctor who serves with heart. Doctor Wang will listen to you very attentively and never rush you through the appointment. He will do his best to treat my son and tried to allocate his time to see him before his overseas trip and we really appreciate his help. We had good experiences with KTP medical centre and we hope KTP will continue to provide quality medical services to the children.

Paediatric specialist consultation fees at private or institutional clinics in Singapore typically run S$120–250 for a first visit and S$80–180 for follow-ups. If you hold a GP or polyclinic referral letter to a public hospital specialist outpatient clinic, the subsidised rate for Singapore Citizens is approximately S$30–80, though non-urgent waiting times can stretch four to twelve weeks. Common add-ons billed separately include blood panels (S$60–200), urine or swab tests, X-rays (S$80–150), vaccinations under the National Childhood Immunisation Programme (S$30–80 per dose depending on the vaccine), and prescriptions. GST applies on private medical services. For any planned procedure or day surgery, request a written financial counselling estimate that separates insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portions before confirming.

Every legitimate clinic in Singapore must hold an MOH Healthcare Services Licence issued under the Healthcare Services Act — verifiable on the MOH licensee directory at moh.gov.sg. Every practising doctor must be listed on the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) public register at smc.gov.sg; search by name to confirm registration status, specialist accreditation in Paediatric Medicine, and any disciplinary history. No regulatory licences have been submitted to KakiList for this listing, so parents should verify both the clinic's MOH licence and the named paediatrician's SMC entry directly before booking. Neither alone is sufficient — the premises must be licensed and the individual doctor must be SMC-registered and paediatric-accredited. Verify the doctor's name on the SMC register and the clinic's MOH Healthcare Services Licence before booking, and for any planned procedure request a written financial counselling estimate that itemises insurance payout, MediSave deduction, and out-of-pocket portions before paying any deposit.
Integrated Shield Plans (IPs) layered on MediShield Life cover most private specialist consultations, day surgery, and inpatient stays, subject to the plan's deductible, co-insurance, and rider rules. Confirm pre-authorisation and request a Letter of Guarantee from your insurer before any planned procedure to avoid claim disputes after the fact. MediSave can be withdrawn under the S$500 general outpatient limit or the S$700 Chronic Disease Management Programme (CDMP) limit for listed conditions including asthma. Separate limits apply for outpatient cancer treatment and selected scans. For paediatric vaccinations under the National Childhood Immunisation Programme, MediSave can be used at approved CHAS and polyclinic-linked practices — confirm eligibility at the clinic. For any planned procedure, request a financial counselling session so the clinic can issue an itemised pre-treatment estimate splitting insurance, MediSave, and out-of-pocket costs in writing. Skipping this step is the most common reason parents are surprised by their final bill.
