Plan the trip around decisions, not just appointments

A good medical tourism itinerary includes time for consultation, lab work, result review, treatment spacing, rest, and follow-up. Booking flights before asking these questions can make the trip tighter than it needs to be.

Makati is the practical base

Centuria Medical Makati is close to hotels, serviced residences, restaurants, pharmacies, and shopping. That matters when the visit includes recovery days or repeat clinic touchpoints.

Use a total-trip calculator

Patients comparing Manila with the U.S., Australia, Canada, or the Middle East should consider treatment estimates, flights, hotel nights, meals, transport, and the value of combining wellness care with a Philippines visit.

Clarify remote follow-up

Before leaving the Philippines, confirm how to contact the clinic, what updates to send, and which symptoms should prompt urgent local care.

Patient questions

Common questions before consultation.

Can I start everything online?

You can start planning online by WhatsApp, but final recommendations depend on physician evaluation and appropriate screening.

Should I stay near Centuria Medical Makati?

For most short visits, staying nearby makes labs, consultations, IV sessions, and follow-ups easier to manage.

Can I combine treatment with a vacation?

Leisure travel is usually best planned before treatment. Activity, sun exposure, swimming, flights, and long travel after treatment should be cleared with the clinic.
