The Philippines is one of the largest nurse and care-giver exporter in the world. The warm, friendly and caring culture of the Filipinos make them top picks in the best hospitals around the world. Filipino doctors who work in foreign hospitals, in the same way, are also well respected professionals highly esteemed in their special fields. Sleep easy with your peace of mind in world class hospitals that practice international standards of hygiene and cleanliness that use the most up-to-date equipment commercially available in the world. You can go to a foreign hospital, be treated by a Filipino doctor, be nurtured back to health by Filipina nurses, and stay in your local hospital (which may have the same equipment as Philippine hospitals) and pay 10 times the amount, or go to Manila and have the procedure done at a fraction of the cost.  Your health care plan should take care of you and not break your bank account. Lower costs do not mean a lower standard of health care. Our currency is so weak that medical care is based on the paying capacity of Filipinos which is more than affordable for first world citizens. Experience for yourself why the Philippines is one of the world’s best medical Meccas.

The average cost of retiring in a private room in a nursing home in the United States is $70,000 per year according to the 2004 MetLife Market Survey of Nursing Home and Home Care Costs where the cost of a health care aide starts at $18 per hour. Even if you can pay for this amount, wouldn’t it be better to spend it on something else? Like a personal driver, a live-in maid, a personal nurse, a personal health care giver, a daily round of golf, a daily scuba expedition, a daily massage, a daily retreat to your favorite pub, country club membership, a selection of international cuisines that will never bore you, and other adventures you never thought possible at a fraction of the cost of what you would be paying in your home land. Consider even having significant savings for you to buy a property or a vehicle which may be a financial challenge if you lived in a nursing home. Imagine the freedom. Imagine the convenience. Be empowered and live the life you deserve. You will never get a second chance at it.
