    How does the healthcare system work in the Philippines?

    The Philippines offers free healthcare, known as PhilHealth (Philippine Health Insurance Corporation) that citizens contribute to through their taxes. It covers most emergency care and some other inpatient services. If you’re employed and living in the Philippines, or have a residency status, you and your loved ones may be eligible for PhilHealth.

    Pros and cons of using the Philippines’ public health system

    Avantages

    There are some benefits to using PhilHealth, like:

    • Cheaper treatment – compared to Europe and North America, you’ll often find much lower prices on hospital visits, medication and even tests.
    • English-speaking medical staff – most doctors that work in public hospitals speak good English.
    • Maternity care package – starting a family is covered by PhilHealth, including prenatal and postpartum periods.
    • Premium option – you have the choice to pay more towards your PhilHealth for further benefits.

    Inconvénients

    But there are some possible drawbacks to consider:

    • Technology issues – some hospitals in more rural areas are not equipped with advanced medical technology.
    • Staffing issues – some regional hospitals may have staffing issues with healthcare professionals pursuing careers in larger city-based locations.
    • Low medical supplies in rural areas – medical settings in provincial areas often work on a limited budget, so stocking up on supplies could be challenging.

    What’s the difference between public and private healthcare in the Philippines?

    Public Privé

    Relatively cheap for common services.

    Access to the best healthcare, even in rural areas.

    Customisable for more expensive services.

    Supply of leading treatments and stocks in rural areas.

    FAQ
    Comment obtenir des soins ?Organise treatment, arrange your plan and more by calling our Customer Care Team. Our advisors are on hand to help with any arrangements or information you may need, from the nearest hospital to recommended doctors. Can I use my national health insurance in the Philippines?No, unless it is Philippines-specific. Having health insurance in another country, like the US, will not offer coverage in another nation unless you have international health insurance that safeguards your health between nations. Is private health insurance necessary in the Philippines?While national medical costs are quite low, in the long run, having a private health insurance policy may prove useful.

    If you want to permanently live in the Philippines, you may find that PhilHealth does not provide enough access to facilities and different treatments. It’s not uncommon for expats living in this island nation to opt for private cover to ensure they can access the care they need.
    What can international health insurance cover expats for?The unique features of a global health insurance policy will improve your experience of moving to and living in the Philippines.
