20 Ms Eileen Chong Pei Shan asked the Coordinating Minister for Social Policies and Minister for Health (a) how many women have undergone elective egg freezing since its implementation in July 2023; (b) what is the age breakdown of these women; and (c) what is the average total out-of-pocket cost for one complete cycle of elective egg freezing at public hospitals.

Mr Ong Ye Kung: Since the introduction of elective egg freezing (EEF) in June 2023, more than 800 women have undergone EEF (as of 31 December 2025). Approximately 57% of them are 35 years and above, 39% between 30 to 34 years, and 4% below 30 years. An egg freezing cycle at public hospitals costs approximately $10,000.
