Currently the limit set is $1,200 per month and this has not be increased for past 10 years or more.
If a patient needs 2 chemo a month the bill may cost at least $5,000 or more if they have no insurance or not subsidized.
Maybe MOH should have a process to do regular reviews maybe yearly in view of escalating medical costs and the Medisave withdrawal required for such treatment need to be increased

The compulsory Medishield Life has a $2000 monthly limit for chemo. Probably is sufficient for C class. However there is often the timeliness issue & non-availability of latest drugs as subsidised patient.
