You can go and see whatever specialist you want (even shop around) without needing a referral from a GP.

Also, you can buy what drugs you want, when you want - and mostly a lot less expensive than the prescription charge in UK.

Peter Sir shame on you thats cheap for you and me but not for the person who earns 100-200 pesos a day

We have private health care here sir and not hard to use the back door to speak to many specialists in the UK, im sure as the ecomony more will supplement their wages a tad.

Toks is the expert on medcine but i belive some of the phill supplied drugs are generic versions and possibly of dubious origins (occasionally) in smaller outlets
