From extreme burns to hypertension, the complaints you'll have the opportunity to observe in tropical Iloilo are unique to the Philippine islands and the lifestyle of their people.
The high-sugar diet here means strokes and diabetes are also rife. This low-resource setting also means finance plays a huge part in how patients are prescribed medicine and subsequently treated. As such, you'll gain unparalleled insight into the country's healthcare system.
Afternoons will be free for you to enjoy all Iloilo has to offer - delicious cuisine, music, and dancing spill onto the city's streets come the evening, and further afield award-winning coastlines, whale watching sites, and festivals await.
