What are Medical Vacation?
As Healthcare costs have skyrocketed so has the new trend in medical tourism.  Many individuals who cannot afford to pay for a procedure in their own home country, are turning to medical professionals where they cost of the procedure is significantly less expensive.  Many of those individuals are turning to Filipino Medical Professionals.  Many of whom have been trained in some of the top tier universities and facilites both at home and abroad and have brought their practices back to where they can be the most beneficial. Instead of just getting the procedure done, many have opted to enjoy their tropical surroundings and recover in a more relaxed and inviting atmosphere.

What must I do before I go on a Medical Vacation?
Do your homework first.  Just because some medical procedures are cheaper in other countries doesn't mean you will get what you are looking for. Get references for the physicians you are dealing with.  It is best to see if there are other patients that can give you some first hand experience about their experience.  Doctors that are well qualified and put their patients first will have no problem providing you with this information.  Just as you would in your own home country ask lots of questions so you have a clear understanding about the how your needs will be handled before and after you undergo a procedure. Make sure you take any vital information with you that may impact your progress. 

Why do medical costs differ?
Fees in some countries, especially the United States are driven by facility overhead, labor costs, insurance contracts, malpractice premiums, and administrative expenses. Over 71% of medical costs are labor related.  Many of these same procedures can be done in other countries for much less because the labor costs are much lower. 

Why the Philippines?
Filipino medical professionals have been highly sought after individuals for many years. Recruiters come from around the world to hire our Doctos and Nurses to work in their facilities. Many of our professionals train in some of the top tier facilities and choose to come back and practice where their skills can be best utlized.  The Philippines is also one of the best vacation spots in the world to see natural beauty of the Pacific Rim.  Another big advantage is that they utilize English as a form of communication in many areas of commerce and business.
