The Philippines in the fray


The medical tourism industry is a sure winner. Thailand, India and Singapore, countries currently who lead the field in the medical tourism industry have more rivals to contend with every day.

The Philippines which has already made its entry in medical tourism is targeting to get for itself a share of the $390 billion spent annually for healthcare in Asia.

Philippines has the advantages of cost, skilled medical practitioners trained in developed countries and an array of elective procedures such as cosmetic surgery, liposuction and dental surgery, and life-saving procedures like coronary bypass surgery, kidney transplants and cancer treatment.
