Known for its many fine beaches and vast mountain ranges, the Philippines is a quick growing tourist destination for travellers on a budget. Due to the low cost of living and natural beauty of the islands, the boom in the Philippines tourism industry has brought some much-needed foreign investment. Every year many expats retire to the Philippines for a more relaxed lifestyle, low cost of living, and many other benefits the island-country provides. Manila is the capital and second largest city of the Philippines.
Healthcare in the Philippines
Depending on which region you reside in, healthcare in the Philippines can range from very poor to good. While the majority of the large hospitals with English-speaking staff are mainly in larger cities, rural regions of the Philippines lack the most fundamental medical equipment. Most expats will want to seek private medical care if sick or injured. Others may want to travel to nearby countries for medical care.
