Medical Practice and Healthcare Services

From hospitals and clinics, to emergency care, to pharmacy, the Philippines boasts of affordable but high-quality services delivered by highly qualified medical practitioners trained in top-rated schools in the country and abroad.

Hospitals

LANEBROOK Communities are located in or within city centers where you will find the nearest hospitals and clinics. There are private and public healthcare institutions, which have well-trained, top-notch doctors. The only difference is that private hospitals are equipped with the latest technologies in medicine, which make them a bit expensive than government hospitals. Generally, hospitals are not that costly in the Philippines. Most hospitals will require a downpayment from you at the time of admission. Few local hospitals will accept U.S. health insurance policies and many U.S. insurers will reimburse you for hospital charges. Often, you will be required to pay your bills before discharge from the hospital.

Premier private hospitals in the country include the Makati Medical Center, the Medical City in Ortigas, the Medical Center and Asian Hospital in Alabang, and St. Luke’s Medical Center in Quezon City and Taguig City. Top government hospitals include East Avenue Medical Center in Quezon City and Philippine General Hospital in Manila City.
