What are healthcare services like in El Nido?
We asked retirees if they have access to good medical care in El Nido. They wrote...
"Healthcare services in El Nido are relatively basic, with a few small clinics and rural health units available for residents and tourists. These facilities are equipped to handle minor illnesses and injuries, but more serious conditions often require transfer to larger hospitals in Puerto Princesa or even Manila. The local clinics are staffed by general practitioners and nurses, with no specialists on site. Medications are usually available for common ailments, but it's recommended for visitors to bring their own supply of any necessary prescription drugs. Despite these limitations, the healthcare staff in El Nido are known for their dedication and care. Emergency services are available, but they may not be up to the standards expected in more developed countries. Overall, while healthcare in El Nido is improving, it is still advisable for visitors to have comprehensive travel insurance that includes medical evacuation," said a member in El Nido, Philippines.
