How are healthcare services in Manila?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Manila, they replied...
"Healthcare services in Manila are provided by both public and private hospitals and clinics. The public hospitals are run by the Department of Health and offer free or low-cost services to the public. Private hospitals and clinics offer more comprehensive services and are often more expensive. Many of the private hospitals and clinics are affiliated with international healthcare organizations, providing access to advanced medical technology and treatments. In addition, there are a number of specialized medical centers in Manila, such as cancer treatment centers, fertility clinics, and mental health facilities. The Philippine government also provides a number of health insurance plans to help cover the cost of medical care," commented one expat who made the move to Manila, Philippines.
