Over 800 women in S’pore have frozen their eggs for non-medical reasons since 2023

In Singapore, women aged between 21 and 37 – regardless of their marital status – are allowed to undergo the procedure,
which preserves their fertility.

Summary

• Since Singapore allowed elective egg freezing in June 2023, over 800 women have undergone the procedure by end of December 2025, according to Health Minister Ong Ye Kung.
• 57% of women freezing their eggs are 35 years of age and older, 39% are 30-34, and 4% are under 30. The procedure allows women to preserve fertility as egg quality declines with age.
• Elective egg freezing costs about $10,000 per cycle in public hospitals, is not subsidised, and is available to women aged 21-37.
