What are the medical facilities like in Tagatay, Phillippines? We are hoping to move there.?

The best medical facility in Tagaytay is the newly-opened (just this year) Tagaytay City Medical Center.

I maintain a house in Tagaytay and I made sure to check on the facilities, just for my peace of mind. My verdict: the hospital is well equipped to handle both emergency cases as well as common illnesses needing medical attention. The hospital itself looks impressive and modern. If at all, the only downsides are : the present lack of hospital staff (but they were hiring, I went there when they were newly opened), and the seeming lack of doctors who hold clinics there, not like in the more established hospitals in Metro Manila like St. Luke's, Asian Hospital, and Makati Medical Center. But this is ok with me because these check-ups can be better managed, and can even be timed with visits to Metro Manila. In any case, I am comfortable that should a life-threatening emergency happen while I am in Tagaytay, I am confident that the facilities in said hospital will be adequate to keep me alive, should He still wish for me to stay on earth.

There are in fact other options. Good, established hospitals are found around Tagaytay :

1. The hospital at De La Salle in Dasmarinas Cavite

2. The Adventist University Hospital in Sta Rosa

3. The South Luzon Medical Center in the Paseo de Sta Rosa area

I have no problem with medical care in the Philippines. It is very very cheap (inexpensive) and very reliable.

Try getting the quick service and price for your medical needs in the USA plus the cost of prescription drugs and you will pay an arm and a leg.

If you do not have tons of money in the USA then forget it. Your typical medical insurance, if you can afford a good one will have limits on how much is covered and not every condition may be covered.

I agree with @wrestler because that is based on his own experience being in Tagaytay.

You can check this list of Accredited Hospitals for tourists:

Asian Hospital is about 1 to less than 2 hrs away.

Medical facilities, hospitals and doctors are sub-standard in the Philippines.

I pray i never get really sick here.

If i do i will be on a plane back to the states fast!

Anyone i know that has a littel money or u.s. passport goes to the u.s. for check ups in there older age.

My mom died in the hospital here.

i dont think she would have died in a u.s. hospeital.

if you have to goto the Dr goto manila. Tagatay is not far from here and you will probably come here for shopping anyway.

Tagaytay is generally a vacation spot for the well off. So there should be no problem.
