The Cosmetic Surgery Scene in the Philippines

Cosmetic surgery is very affordable in the Philippines and there is an increasing number of Filipinos each year who decide to undergo various cosmetic surgery procedures.

The greater acceptance and growth of cosmetic surgery among the general public has encouraged more doctors to enter this field. In the Philippines however, any licensed medical doctor can perform any kind of cosmetic surgery without legal impediment. Any doctor can label himself or herself as a "cosmetic surgeon".

How does ISO apply to healthcare?

Quality in healthcare is more important today than ever before. Today's health care consumers are better informed and participate in the care they receive. This has increased the awareness that the quality of service delivered is dependent not only on the hands-on practitioners, but also on every individual within the organization whose activities contribute in some way. The current trend toward public accountability continues to be one of the major factors driving the momentous changes in the health care industry.

Medical Tourism in Philippines

The Philippines has been growing as a destination for medical tourism. Procedures can be performed at a fraction of the amount that a patient would spend on the same procedure in the US or Europe. Philippine medical and nursing curricula are more challenging than in many in Southeast Asia, and many Filipino doctors have acquired their postgraduate or fellowship training from well-known institutions in the US, the UK and other developed countries.

Medical centers in Metro Manila have complied to ISO standards, and are periodically and regularly undergo accreditations from Philippine's Department of Health. Others have already accredited by the American accreditation group Joint Commission International (JCI), while some are looking at UK-sourced hospital accreditation.
