Medical tourism is not new in the Philippines. For many years, people have been visiting this country just to undergo a medical procedure or seek medical treatment. But, it was only recently that the country has been recognized as a healthcare destination. In those years, the Philippines has achieved medical breakthroughs allowing it to be one of the most advanced nations in Asia when it comes to the field of healthcare.

JCI AND ISO CERTIFIED

All leading hospitals here in the Philippines are accredited by the Joint Commission International (JCI). They are also certified by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). With that in mind, you can be sure that you are in good hands when visiting the Philippines for medical treatment.

COMPARABLE TO HOSPITALS IN THE US

Leading hospitals in the Philippines are comparable to some of the hospitals in the US. They are better equipped making this another reason the country is well-known for its medical tourism. The healthcare cost in this country is just a fraction of the cost when seeking medical treatment in Europe. But you can get the same excellent healthcare as those hospitals in the UK, Germany, and other parts of Europe.

TRAVEL AND TREATMENT

The Philippines is not only known for its medical tourism but it is also a popular destination for its beautiful beaches and other wonderful spots waiting to be explored. After your medical treatment, you can relax in seaside resorts, go island hopping or hiking through the country’s tropical rainforest.
The country is a tropical paradise because of its warm climate and welcoming people. Thus, it is just ideal to travel here for a medical treatment and spend your holiday visiting various tourism spots in the country.

COST OF SEEKING MEDICAL TREATMENT

Take a look at the examples below:

FACELIFT

Rhytidectomy or facelift will cost you at least $10,000 in the US. But if the procedure is done in the Philippines, you will only have to pay approximately $1,000.

LAMNIPLASTY

This procedure can cost more than $120,000 in the US. However, hospitals in the Philippines will only charge you $9,000 (or less) for the same procedure.

With the examples above, you can really expect to obtain great savings for most medical procedures as compared with the costs charged by US hospitals.

ENGLISH FLUENCY

Another reason you must consider the medical tourism in this country is the fact that almost all Filipinos living in the Philippines can speak the English language. It is widely spoken in the country. It is used in business and education.
Because of that, you do not have to worry about communicating or transacting with Filipinos while staying in the beautiful islands of the Philippines.

FOOD

Filipino food is a combination of Western and Eastern cuisines. Almost all restaurants and hotels are serving Japanese, Korean, Continental, Spanish, American, Indian and Chinese food.

So, if you want an ideal location to help you rest and relax while undergoing treatment, you should consider the medical tourism in the Philippines. The beautiful islands of the Philippines can offer a stress-free break to regain your health.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

The Disneyland Hotel in Hong Kong is one of the best hotels we have been. It is situated almost a mile from the theme park of Disneyland (just a walking distance). The overall style of this hotel is more of Victorian, which is similar to that of Disneyland Hotel in Orlando Florida.

While strolling, we saw Disney characters all over the place. When we arrived at the hotel, different classic characters were staring at us. Their carpets have pictures of characters from different movies produced by Disney.

Because all of us were tired when we arrived, we truly appreciated the area near the check-in section where we could sit down. While we completed the process for check-in, the kids were watching cartoons.

ABOUT THE ROOMS

Most rooms at Disneyland Hotel in Hong Kong could accommodate at least 4 guests. The rooms that we had were spacious and had a lovely balcony.

STAFF

The hotel’s staff was very polite and each could speak in multiple languages.

FOOD

The food was great. The buffet service has all food types that we like. The best thing of it all was the visit by the Disney characters. That time, the kids met Mickey Mouse. We were hoping that Prince Naveen would be there as well.

OVERALL EXPERIENCE

We enjoyed our stay at Disneyland Hotel, even though a few days of staying here left a little hole in our wallet. It may not be a cheap place to eat and dine but it is all worth it.

OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT DISNEYLAND HOTEL

This luxury resort has six floors and 400 guest rooms.
Its gardens and fountains have a hint of Disney characters.
You can witness a harpist performing in the lobby.
It has a swimming pool where adults and kids can have fun while, well, swimming. It is also a kid-friendly pool.
It also offers an indoor swimming pool at Victorian Spa. Guest can try its sauna, steamroom and beauty salon to help them relaxed. The fitness center at this spa offers healthy snacks and whirlpools.

VISA REQUIREMENTS

Tourists from the Philippines and other nearby countries may not need a visa to enter Hong Kong. However, they must show their passport upon arrival.

TRAVEL

It only takes one to two hours to reach Hong Kong from the Philippines. From the Hong Kong International Airport to Disneyland Hotel, you need to take a train or a coach service to reach the park and the hotel.

CURRENCIES

The currencies accepted at Disneyland Hotel are Hong Kong dollars and Renminbi. If you run out of dollars, you can exchange currency at the hotel’s front desk. Or you can use credit cards, such as VISA, Master, CUP, JCB, and American Express.

By staying at Disneyland Hotel, you can experience the charm of the Victorian era with a Disney style.

NOTE: We had our stay at Disneyland Hotel about a year ago.
