Will I need to travel to see a specialist?

"Yes, there are a good number of medical specialists in Davao. People in Davao can access a wide range of medical specialists, including cardiologists, neurologists, oncologists, and orthopedic surgeons. For highly specialized medical care, people in Davao can go to Davao Medical School Foundation, Inc. (DMSFI), which is a tertiary hospital that offers a wide range of medical services. DMSFI also has a number of specialized centers, such as the Davao Heart Center, the Davao Cancer Institute, and the Davao Orthopedic Center. Additionally, Davao is home to a number of private hospitals and clinics that offer specialized medical care," explained one expat living in Davao, Philippines.
