Its medical tourism industry has been growing in popularity in the past few years particularly targeting European and American tourists looking for inexpensive healthcare services. Unlike other medical tourist destinations, the Philippines does not only offer cosmetic procedures but also offers major procedures not related to aesthetics.
The best Philippine hospitals are located in the capital but in the past few years, Metro Davao has also started getting more and more medical tourists to its shores. There are also other hospitals positioned close to stunning beaches for medical tourists’ recreation purposes.
One great thing about getting medical treatment in the Philippines is the cost. Full set dental implants for example can cost you as little as US$500 done in world class facilities by world class doctors. Private hospital rooms in the best hospitals in megacity Manila are more like 5-star hotel rooms making the experience a stress-free one. English is the official second language of the Philippines making it a better choice for foreigners seeking medical treatment in Asia.
The only problem is, since the tropical country is in Southeast Asia, traveling to the area from west can take up to 17 hours or more if with stopovers. The climate is quite hot too all-year-round making recovery uncomfortable if you are not used to the heat.
