Cutting Edge 

Mention medical tourism and many think of ultra-modern, state-of-the-art facilities in far-flung places. But medical tourism is not new. It can be traced back to 300BC Greece when pilgrims journeyed to the demi-god of medicine and healing; it continued through the ages as people sought healthful destinations where they could "take the air" or "take the waters".

These days medical tourism remains in good health. It's a global industry in which Singapore has fast become one of the leading destinations with facilities for everything from complex medical procedures to a quick botox break. 

Residents of Singapore have access to some of the most sophisticated technologies and practitioners of medical and cosmetic surgery. See the Health, Fitness & Beauty section of The AngloFILE local directory of businesses for:

• Cosmetic Surgery & Cosmetic Treatments
• Lasik Surgery & Eye Specialists
• Plastic, Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery
• Doctors & Specialists
• Dentists & Dental Clinics

And a reminder to those with regular contacts in countries that practice daylight savings: the weekend coming, the early hours of Sunday 26 October, sees the official end of Summer Time (or Daylight Saving Time) throughout the European Union and in much of the rest of the world with clocks being set BACK by one hour.

For more on Summer Time (and a table listing the dates on which countries change their clocks) see the AngloINFO INFOrmation Page on Daylight Saving Time (DST).
