MEDICAL TOURISM IN THE PHILIPPINES

Philippines is one of the fastest growing destinations in Southeast Asia for medical tourism attracting hundreds of thousands of medical tourists per year from all over the world. Medical procedures sought in the Philippines range from orthopedic surgery to organ transplants and from cancer therapy to eye surgery.

Medical tourism in Philippines is a growing segment of Philippines's tourism and health-care sectors. Lower labor costs translate into significant cost savings on surgical care compared to hospitals in the United States, and a higher, more personalized level of nursing care than westerners are accustomed to receiving in the US, UK, Canada and other countries.

Cost savings for medical procedures compared to US or Europe are tremendous. Depending upon the surgery sought, savings can range from 50% to 90% for comparable treatments in the US, UK or other developed countries.

Medical tourists can enjoy not only personalized services and long stay at low prices but also various tourism spots, shopping and many other attractions.

Hospitals in the Philippines offer top quality healthcare services and packages at affordable prices and attract not only Americans, Canadians, and Europeans but are a popular destination for other Asians as well.

Medical centers in Metro Manila have complied to ISO standards, and periodically and regularly undergo accreditations from Philippine's Department of Health. Others have already been accredited by the American accreditation group Joint Commission International (JCI), while some have appied to join the UK-sourced Trent Accreditation Scheme.

The most famous Philippine hospital is The Medical City , a JCI accredited facility.
