A favorite destination for tropical beach holidays, the Philippines does not offer the usual Asian experience. The country is an emerging medical tourism hotspot thanks to its high standards for medical treatment and healthcare as initiated by the Philippine government in the year 2006.

There are now a number of medical tour packages available in the country that offer both travel and hospital services i.e. taking care of everything from your visa to your airfare, accommodation and which hospital you will be getting treatment from. It’s not just plastic surgery and dental procedures that are popular in the country though, medical services offered in the Philippines include rheumatology, cataracts surgery, cardiology, bone marrow transplants and even knee replacements.
