My wife is overseas visiting family and has been sick for one month with a hard cough. Over the month she has been to 2 doctors 5-6 times with different prescriptions none of them worked. Just today we found out she has pneumonia and now has the right medicine for this.

I guess I'm frustrated that it took a month of my wife being sick before she got the correct diagnosis. I hope she is feeling better soon.

One of the reasons I thought retirement in Philippines may not be a good idea would be quality of healthcare.

It depends on what doctor or hospital you visit. For small issues i visit the local hospitals/doctors or clinics in the mall. For anything more serious i suggest saint lukes or Makati Medical. Best way to think of it, is you get what you pay for. Also a lot of cheaper hospitals have old equipment. I had an ultrasound done at a cheaper hospital and the equipment did not pick up anything , due to poor quality/old. But at Saint lukes they had a new machine and it was crystal clear.
