As a foreigner living in Manila, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Manila if they have access to public healthcare in Manila. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"Yes, foreigners living in Manila have access to public healthcare. The public healthcare system in the Philippines is generally considered to be of good quality, with a wide range of services available. The public healthcare system is funded by the government and is free or low-cost for those who qualify. The public healthcare system is also supplemented by a number of private healthcare providers, which offer more comprehensive services at a higher cost," remarked another expat who made the move to Manila, Philippines.
