Questions regarding medical exam in Manila

[mrmarouka 0]

Do we have to call and make an appointment before going to St. Luke's in Manila for my wife's medical exam, or is it first come first serve during business hours?

Also, the requirements show that she will need somewhere around 17 vaccinations.... Sounds pretty painful. Will they administer all of these in one sitting?

Thanks for the help,

M.

You do NOT need an appointment at St. Luke’s, but will take two days. ALL SHOTS are age appropriate you will not get 17 vac. maybe 3-4

Monday through Friday (except holidays), fom 7:30 AM-11:30 and 1:00 PM to 4:30 PM

Best if she goes a month+ ahead of interview or ASAP. Have her go after I PM Tuesday thru Thursday.

Have her wear loose fitting clothes and NOT go during her period.

The panel physician will determine what vaccines she need.

Appreciate the answers and the suggestions.

When you say the exam will take two days, you mean that she will go one day, and then have to return another? Or do they keep her over night?

Will they let me go there with her? I am currently in the Philippines with my wife, and I came here to be with her during her medical interview so she wouldn't be so nervous. I would rather her not travel to Manila alone.

I read that they do not like it when the patients bring guests, but I would rather be present with her. I do not want her traveling to Manila alone.

Thanks,

she needs to come back again the following day for her vaccination or the remaining undone procedure. they dont keep your wife overnight. after the completing the needed procedure for the day she is advised to return the following day. you can come with your wife but you will just wait outside the building of St. Lukes or ask the guard to let you enter if permitted. you can also read the other thread regarding st. lukes exam
