What are healthcare services like in Puerto Galera?

"Healthcare services in Puerto Galera are relatively basic, with a few small clinics and health centers available for residents and tourists. These facilities are equipped to handle minor illnesses and injuries, but more serious conditions may require travel to larger cities. The local clinics are staffed by general practitioners and nurses who provide primary care services. Pharmacies are also available for prescription and over-the-counter medications. However, the availability of specialized medical services is limited. Emergency services are available, but response times can be slow due to the town's remote location. For complex medical procedures and treatments, patients often have to travel to larger hospitals in nearby cities. Health insurance is recommended for visitors, as medical costs can be high for non-residents. Despite these challenges, the healthcare staff in Puerto Galera are known for their dedication and care," said another expat in Puerto Galera, Philippines.
