Vaccinations It is wise to obtain vaccinations for Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B,
Typhoid and Tetanus. In many rural areas of the Philippines , such as
the island of Palawan , malaria
is a problem. Some International Medical Insurance plans will
cover your vaccinations, check with your insurance broker.
Medical Emergencies and Evacuation You should always carry your insurance card with you at all times.
Although the medical system in Philippines is satisfactory, there are
cases in which a patient has to be evacuated to the closest suitable
medical facilities and even back to their home country. The patient is
responsible for all costs associated with an evacuation, and these
expenses can often be over USD $10,000. Therefore, it is advised that
individuals traveling to the Philippines purchase Philippines medical
insurance that covers medical evacuation.
