How are local medical facilities in Philippines?

We asked members about local medical facilities in Philippines, they wrote...

"There is a public hospital nearby and also a private hospital. Emergency services in the private hospital are good - Not in the public hospital. Quality of care in the Public Hospital is not recommendable for Westerners. In the Private hospital it is reliable and good," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Manila, Philippines.

"There are many Govt. and private hospitals dotted around the city and offer reasonably good facilities. Unfortunately, due to the xenophobia of most of the nurses, one has to put up with their ignorance and nastiness," commented one expat who made the move to Angeles City, Philippines.
