Got a health problem? It is not easy to find the best hospital where you can get treated. But let’s make it easy for you to choose.
Personal experience
If I am to choose the best hospital, I will consider the doctors’ expertise and the hospital facilities. These are the important things that will let me recover from any disease. You may ask, how about the cost?
Yes, this is also important but we should primarily consider first our chances of survival especially if we are dealing with life and death situations. Like in most soap operas, the main characters say “Doc gawin niyo ang lahat para maligtas siya“.
The price comes secondary if you wish to save someone from harm. You can raise funds later on or reduce the cost using health insurance, HMO and Philhealth.
I want this to be an unbiased article but since I have experienced the service from some of these medical centers, I will mention their features and offer that may matter to you as a patient.
What are the best hospitals?
It does not really matter during emergencies. Whatever is nearest your location, then it is the best one when it comes to critical concerns. Otherwise, for things that can wait regarding medical treatment, here are some of the top choices that you may consider.
Asian Hospital and Medical Center
FEU Hospital
Medical City
Philippine General Hospital (PGH)
St. Luke’s Medical Center
Makati Medical Center
Cardinal Santos Medical Center
Capitol Medical Center
UCMED in Cebu
Davao Doctors Hospital
Cancer treatment
As one of the most dreaded diseases, consider a hospital that has a dedicated cancer treatment. This means thorough and appropriate services for all your needs, especially with surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
Heart ailments
When it comes to the heart, I suggest that you consider hospitals that use the latest machines and devices. For example, angiogram, 2D echo and MRI are all necessary for heart problems.
Surgery options
For surgery, consider a hospital that has a good operating room with the latest equipment. You can easily assess their facilities when you ask about them from the surgeon.
