Hospital expenses in the Philippines are a lot cheaper compared to many other countries. Filipinos have the privilege to get quick access to their medical needs without spending so much every time they come and visit a doctor. If you have relatives abroad, you would have heard their stories where going for a check up could cost them up to $150 and the likes. As Filipinos, we start to calculate the dollar costs in terms of pesos and so we shy away from a hospital visit as much as possible.
