Thanks for showing the available Healthcare Vern - very important information and good to know of the resources. Do you know of or have any fellow Dumaguete expats that have enrolled in courses at the University? That would be a good topic to cover as I understand the tuition is very reasonable. Thanks for sharing! EW :)
Welcome Ernst. Good question, I don't know of anyone. I had taken a local Photography course at Silliman University 2x. More of an after hours summer course. I seem to remember tuition was very reasonable also. Yes. I read a Bachelor degree is $2500 per year at Silliman. Thanks!
Vern, your personal experience at two hospitals was the most valuable information. No gloves and unclean--good decision to leave that place. Thanks for sharing some, ahem, uncomfortable details, it helps your viewers.
Thanks Mike....funny how one mans...."junk"....is another mans treasure! It was anawkward time for sure ;) They even asked me to show off to a pair of med students so they could examine my situation.... gosh, I was like ...well this hasn't been any more unusual..ok..lets go!
Chong Hua is a modern and clean Chinese owned hospital in Cebu where my husband had his angiogram in 2006. I was surprised by your bad experience there. Thanks for this informative video on the different hospitals in Dumaguete 👏👏 I didn't know there are many hospitals there already.
Welcome. To be fair the (Urologist) Doctors office was outside the hospital at a clinic adjacent to that hospital. I had to set up an appointment first etc. The clinic was very old and it reminded me of something in a small town with little to no budget to do repairs or up keep. It didn't make sense to have that connected or part of a larger "well known" hospital. I took a bus over 4 hrs to get there and a Ferry, I really was hopping to find the best for my surgery. It was a bummer as I had to ride all they way back to Dumaguete wondering what I would do next. Welcome. yea they were building Hospitals all at once here it seems.
That is a loaded question. Not everyone comes here for the right reasons. Also not everyone that comes here is upstanding so to say. There are wonderful expats, so don't let that jade anything, just consider it a mixed bag. Seek those that align with what you believe and desire out of life. Just like back home etc. We tend to seek those that are similar to ourselves. Usually expats are approachable because they seek familiar company being from another place etc. It's not nearly as clickish as back home ,but some tend to flock together more than others. Should have no problem meeting people to chat with.
Vern’s answer was very good. I would like to add, the expats in Dumaguete are friendlier than other places. People feel comfortable here wear as say in Cebu city the expats are more suspicious of others motives. It’s funny at the airport the expats will be very talkative and tell you everything, they feel safe.
Nice to know that Hospitals in Dumaguete are clean compare to the one in Cebu. However, Filipino patients normally have tons of visitors (like the whole family + extended family & friends). They should really limit visitors to 1 or 2 at a time. That $1500 for surgery is from your own pocket. Here in the US, the insurance cover everything and you just pay a co-pay no more than $120 for major surgery. So it's still expensive. Definitely, you go to Manila or Makati for major surgical procedures.
As a side note. There are good hospitals in Cebu. I just didn't feel comfortable with the urologist that worked from a dungy clinic that would also perform at the hospital his surgery etc. I felt if he didn't have a higher standard of cleanliness for his clinic office, then he probably didn't have a high standard for his operations etc. I agree limiting visitors would be best for the others sharing that space ;)
Hospitals in Dumaguete are a lot cleaner. I visited Vicente Sotto Medical Center in Cebu and it was not clean. The Negros Oriental Provincial Hospital has just been newly renovated. And the new Aces Medical Center in Dumaguete is new and clean.
Hey Tony , yep ...Phil Health..is...was..the main provider. It went through a tough season with a bunch of... money missing... so best to do some homework to see if it is still up and rolling. Being away I am not sure what happened afterwards if it was taken care of or is still a problem.
I found your tour very interesting. With four new and expanding private and a large public hospitals, Dumaguete may have a better bed to population ratio than other larger and similar sized cities.
Thanks Thomas! That is a very good point you brought up. It will also be interesting to see what services become available as these hospitals go online with services.
I did find it interesting to note that inside parts of the hospital where I stayed some areas were not super nice ( peeling paint/ dark or not super clean walls) or perfect as one would expect. But inside the operating theater, it was as one would expect, clean and well kept.
More like watchers ha...Wasn't bad, was thinking it was about an average days wage etc. Wasn't enough to even make me think twice about it to remember the amount...
@@HeyVernTravels good to know and thanks for the reply. With my wife's family they think being a watcher is a chance for 3 or 4 relatives to get out of the house with meals and transportation provided. I told my wife about the paid watcher and she likes that idea too ;-)
My "sackajewia". Right. Too funny Vern. As a a heath care professional (x-ray tech), and somebody possibly interested in retiring to the Philippines, I was curious about the local hospitals. Looks like kind of a mixed bag, at least in Dumagete. Maybe elsewhere as well. At least it's relatively affordable. Good vid. Thanks Vern.
Hey Thanks Dave! I knew two X ray tech related people in my life , one was going to school in Oregon and told us stories of surprising finds inside of people! The other was an X Ray tech repairman in the West coast region. I did some refinish work on a black early 80's restomod Malibu for him. A mixed bag for sure, yes very affordable!
I have heard of guys going to Manilla for that. www.practo.com/quezon-city/doctor/dr-perla-r-bandoquillo-cardiologist Maybe is possible in Dumaguete you would have to check the Hospitals etc.
Let me just give you an example of what can and will happen in a hospital in the Philippines. Last year I was living in Dauin just outside Dumaguete. I contracted Dengue Fever in late October and needed to be hospitalized. A friend said she could help and got me into Silliman Medical Center where my BP was down to 75/25. I am a healthy US Navy Veteran who assumed the VA was cover my expenses since I am rated at 100% disabled. WRONG. The VA doesn't cover it. I spent 7 nights in the public area of Silliman and was given a final bill of P48,000+. I found out through the friend that the hospital had been giving me inferior drugs to treat the Dengue so that I would purposely be forced to stay in the hospital. Granted I did not ever feel my life was in any danger and all of the staff treated me very kindly. However, this is just an example of what not to do. First, get Phil Health or some sort of emergency medical coverage. Second don't trust everyone. Make sure you read and understand EVERYTHING. The Philippines is a poor country and obviously know how to get away with things regarding foreigners. Just a little something to keep in mind.
I got Dengue last October while living in Dauin. Was taken to Silliman Hospital by a friend. Was admitted with BP of 75/25 in a public type of room with roughly 20 odd people over a week. The people treating me were very nice but it was noisey as hell and food was not good to say the least. After a week I demanded release even thought the doctor said he couldn't authorize it without a waiver. I signed the waiver and was handed a bill for roughly P45k. They said I must pay in full in order to leave. I knew it was coming so sent my GF to the ATM. Paid it and barely made it home before tossing my guts. Found out after the fact not only is it normal to extort foreigners in the hospital, but was given inferior drugs to prolong my stay. How nice? RIght. Even being a disabled US Navy Veteran does no good unless you have Phil Health or some other local insurance. So the lesson here is BE THE FUCK AWARE. You will be extorted and you will be scammed even with your ass on the line. Of course its not really intentional its because they believe all foreigners are rich. If you plan to stay any length of time get insurance and also stay out of the boonies. Not worth it.
Sorry for your experience, I also went to Silliman hospital and had a surgery. The price was not crazy high compared to what I would have paid in the USA. I didn't feel taken advantage of price wise. But yes I was also kept there till I was cleared of such fines, like you I knew this before hand would be an issue. I was told to buy my own drugs with a runner, I had a choice as of what drugs to purchase. They offered for a small fee a person to run for me that day. It ain't Kansas but it ain't the middle ages either....Just be aware of a entire set of functions and lack of..agreed. If your number one goal and desire is First World health care/ patient service, pick some place else, another country perhaps that will cater to health tourism. It may happen one day here but it is still progressing.
Ohh oddly enough I became really weak, with a chest type cold condition ,packed with mucus. Amazing severe sore throat, aspirin didn't pull my fever down or rid my headache, never happened before . Took like 6 weeks to clear my lungs, for it to leave my chest. But didn't have a runny nose, extreme fatigue. I have had flu/colds my entire life and this was an arse kicker! It was while living in Valencia in late Sept early Oct 2019 would have to look up a date to be more precise. Before Covid was announced, I was wondering months later if that was what I had. A few in town also had some bug really bad also. With so many Chinese tourists visiting it is a possibility it was out earlier.
With a BP of 75/25 is no joke. I won't be surprise if you are kept there for a week. Unless if you don't know the significance of that kind of BP. To be paying only P45K you don't expect a private room for that price. Maybe you were given the option of a private room or not and probably you did not choose the private room because it's going to be significantly higher in cost. I found it offensive for you to make a statement that hospital extort foreigners as there is always a standard pricing. All foreigners are rich. That's a misconception on your part. Chances are you are hanging out with the lower social economic group of people. Of course we know a lot of foreigners and not all but significantly a lot goes to the Philippines because they cannot afford to live in the State or in there own country, if their social security is less than $2K. A lot of foreigners goes to the public hospital for treatment just FYI. It is always hard to collect payment from people once they leave the hospital. Local or Foreigner. They don't have the same system as we do here in the States that we place them on collection agency and can affect the credit ratings. There is a Generic drug and non generic drug that is always available for purchase. The Generic drug are usually cheaper but tend to be of inferior quality just like here in the States. So if you have choose to stay in a non private room I have a feeling that you have choose the Generic drug as your drug of choice. As the saying goes you get what you pay. People like you are not welcome in the Philippines. Get the FUCK out and leave.
Question about the hospitals Vern... I know the Philippines is a cashed based society for the most part, but do the hospitals take debit/credit when you need to pay? I think it would be difficult to have a ton of pesos with you to pay for a procedure. Enjoyed the vid! 👍
You ain't a kidding , one teste was half a litre! It was time to get R done! Thanks ,yea was a time of uncertainty and nobody want's the junk messed with, but gotta go in, as hard as that may seem at times.
@@HeyVernTravelsSo is this a permanent move for you or are you thinking about coming back to the States ,and after being there that long do you regret leaving the states.
@@michaelb.3438 Thanks for asking, I hope to always make this my home here that is my goal. No regrets leaving the US for a different life. What was lacking back home I was able to find here. Imagine a community 50 years back in time that is the feel here. It works and makes sense still.

HEY VERN!, I did a little research on Silliman University. It's named after an American business man Dr. (PHD Not M.D. or D.O. - Nonmedical) Dr. Horace Silliman. He was a philanthropist who donated 10,000.00 USD in the late 1800s for an all boys school to be built. It became a college in the early 1900s and later achieved university status in the 1920s. It's 1 of 5 accredited universities in the Philippines. Anywho, one piece of advice that I've taken from the more senior vloggers is to avoid the Philippines if you have a medical condition(s) that require advanced/specialized medical care. As you stated in the video, there are some limitations on the medical care you'll receive in the Philippines in comparison to our Western standard of health care. Are you fricking kidding me!!!! ???? The doctor examined your genetalia ( I don't know how to spell that word neither does the computer dictionary) without wearing gloves? He'd probably come to work on the day of your surgery after changing the oil in his car and not wash his hands prior to operating!!! It's good that everything worked out for the best for you. Take care Vern. Daniel
What every older expat wants to know. How good are the hospitals? Good job!
Thanks David. Wish I could have gone inside those places, due to Covid things are strict now.
Sir Holy Child Hospital had advance equipments a very good hospital and Specialist Doctors. Some Doctors have a clinic also at SUMC.
Oh that is great, thanks for sharing about that place also.

Thanks Larry. Appreciate that!
Too many hospitals in Dgte. Not been home for 21 yrs so I have no idea what its like inside the city.
That is a long time, where did you end up living?
Thanks Vern. Good information to know, as usual. Cheers.

where is that in dumaguete located
Most of the hospitals are in the city proper (Dumaguete) and the modern one is on the road to Sibulan. Cheers!
Have also another big hospital in Dumaguete City. It's name., Poly medic Hospital .it's new Hospital here.. I live this city..
Thank you Lilla, maybe the same one in the video the Poly Medic Hospital?
Great video, very informative
Thanks, appreciate that .

You really need a little bit patients coming to this hospital. Its alot of patients that waiting
That is very true, as a patient it is hard to understand in the moment of need. I feel for the health care workers as they have such a tough job.

I used my debit/Visa card to pay my bill ,so yes where I went they did, at Siliman hospital.
My daughter was born there…1995.
Nice, thanks for sharing.
All hospital you've visited, only 1 is public a hospital...the rest are private.
Ok Jun Sia thanks for that.

Ohhh, isolation as in for Covid you meant?
Ok so private hospital is better than public. More expensive I imagine.
More expensive yes Tony for sure.

HEY VERN!,
I did a little research on Silliman University. It's named after an American business man Dr. (PHD Not M.D. or D.O. - Nonmedical) Dr. Horace Silliman. He was a philanthropist who donated 10,000.00 USD in the late 1800s for an all boys school to be built. It became a college in the early 1900s and later achieved university status in the 1920s. It's 1 of 5 accredited universities in the Philippines. Anywho, one piece of advice that I've taken from the more senior vloggers is to avoid the Philippines if you have a medical condition(s) that require advanced/specialized medical care. As you stated in the video, there are some limitations on the medical care you'll receive in the Philippines in comparison to our Western standard of health care. Are you fricking kidding me!!!! ???? The doctor examined your genetalia ( I don't know how to spell that word neither does the computer dictionary) without wearing gloves? He'd probably come to work on the day of your surgery after changing the oil in his car and not wash his hands prior to operating!!! It's good that everything worked out for the best for you. Take care Vern.
