Philippines Medical Care and Emergencies

Philippines Travel Itinerary

Medical Care and Emergencies

There are pharmacies everywhere in the Philippines, so if you have a minor ailment and need to buy medicine over the counter, finding one should not be a problem. The biggest chain is Mercury, which has branches all over the place, but even the smallest

village tends to have some sort of store where you can buy the basics.

In Manila and other major tourist centres, hospitals are generally well equipped and staffed by English-speaking doctors. Hotels and resorts sometimes have their own doctor on duty, or can at least point you in the direction of a local clinic. In case of serious illness you will need to be evacuated, either to Manila or your home country, so make sure you have arranged health insurance before you leave home.

The Philippines

try our country

wolf says "hope you visit our country. try out our white sand beaches in boracay and in the other visayan islands. or go to palawan - the last frontier, for diving and exploration. visit baguio, banaue and vigan in the north of luzon. i wouldnt recommend the island of mindanao, though.

just like visiting any other asian country, just use your common sense and dont trust strangers so easily, and you will be safe.
