:: PHILIPPINES: A GLOBAL HEALTHCARE DESTINATION

The country's pool of competent

healthcare professionals...English-speaking people... state-of-the-art technology...and cost-effective medical and wellness treatments make it a preferred

destination for healthcare.

The Philippines has a long history of Western medical care, beginning in 1611 when the University of Santo Tomas, the oldest university in Asia, was founded along with its medical school. The University of Santo Tomas continues to provide the largest number of medical professionals in the country.

Medical care in the Philippines is primarily Western in its philosophy, methods, and approaches. Filipino doctors receive the best education and training in established institutions in the U.S., Asia, and Europe. The tertiary hospitals and medical centers in the Philippines have complete facilities and are just as equipped, if not better, than their counterparts in the U.S., Europe and Canada.

Medical tourism in the Philippines is backed by the resources of the Philippine government, through its agencies: the Department of Tourism and the Department of Health. In 2006, the Philippines was launched as a world medical tourism destination and has since received recognition from patients all over the world as a global healthcare destination.
