RE: New MAAYO Medical Facility in Mandaue, Cebu - Philippines

in #philippines7 years ago (edited)

Unfortunately you are correct about provincial health care. Since coming here almost 5 years ago, I personally know of two expats that went into the hospital with relatively minor issues, and came out in a pine box. Both passing from complications due to sepsis. By the time a local hospital transfers patients to another more capable hospital, it is almost too late, as was the experience with my two fellow acquaintance s above. That facility in the video looks very nice and capable. Hope you never have to go there Reekay!

Sort:  

i've been, repeatedly, visiting to a provincial hospital and saw at least half a dozen dogs sleeping under various medical cots or hallways.. inside the hospital. also seen plenty of patients on cots on hallways outside.

i passed by one man in a hallway on a cot. an hour later when i left, he was dead. if an expat knows he's not in good health and NEEDS continual health care, he really needs to live near cebu or manila.

Or Bangkok!

or vietnam, lots of expats going there even from europe.
