Medical Tourism Philippines

The Philippines has been growing as a tourist destination of choice for health and vacation because of our world class physicians, modern technology, and our uniquely Filipino brand of caring and compassion at great values for money at a fraction of the cost in developed countries.

The medical tourism in Philippines has grown at a remarkable rate in recent years, with more hospitals being established outside the country’s capital, particularly in central provinces such as Luzon and Davao. Americans facing increasingly rising costs for medical treatments are some of the Philippines’ most important customers, while those traveling from Europe also make up a decent percentage of medical customers here.

Among the most popular treatments are cosmetic and plastic surgery, weight loss surgery and dental procedures. In addition, more serious operations such as artery bypass surgery and kidney transplant are slowly drawing more visitors. State of the art facilities, highly trained medical staff and the unique Filipino hospitality are among the most enticing reasons to make a medical trip to this Asian paradise.

It is primarily the low cost of high level service that sees Europeans and Americans disregard the medical offerings in their home countries. By coming to the Philippines for surgery, they are also faced with the opportunity not only to have procedures carried out at a saving, but also to holiday in an exotic location. Spa resorts, pristine beaches and excellent tour infrastructure mean medical tourists can take advantage of the Philippines’ rapidly developing tourism industry.
