WHY TRAVEL TO THE PHILIPPINES FOR MEDICAL CARE
Medical tourism in the Philippines is growing. The Philippines is known worldwide for its healthcare professionals. Its nurses and caregivers are in highest demand. Filipino doctors spend time abroad for further studies, seminars, or to develop in a specialty field. Medical tourism in the Philippines caters to about 100,000 to 200,000 patients every year.
Medical travelers from all over the world come to the Philippines because of the ease of communication. English is the country’s second language and is widely spoken. The Philippines is also centrally located. It is easy to get to from East Asia, the other Pacific Island, Europe, the Gulf States, and Australia. Overseas Filipino workers (OFW) also prefer to go back for medical procedures.
Filipino dermatologists and cosmetic surgeons are considered top in the field, and there are unlimited spas and wellness centers around the country offering treatments to tourists while they are on vacation. For more complex procedures, five hospitals in Metro Manila are accredited by the Joint Commission International (JCI promotes rigorous standards of care in more than 90 countries). These hospitals are within an hour drive from the airport. Another 60 hospitals around the country also have international accreditation.
