HEALTH SERVICES, LUBANG ISLAND

From the perspective of potential visitors to the Lubang Islands, there is a district hospital close to the Lubang Municipality Centre, and another in Looc.

For alternative treatment a patient could hire a seat in an Airlink plane to Manila. The Lubang Airport is located directly opposite the Lubang Municipality's hospital. Patients can also travelby ferry to Calatagan as illustrated below.

In the photo above is a sign for the Botika ng Barangay for Agkawayan. Some of the Barangays have a dispensary from which a limited range of medication is available.

There are a few ambulances on the Island.

At health centres a lot of good, well formulated, health information is displayed to the general public.

In the Philippines there are two national laws - The Clean Air Act of 1999 (Republic Act 8749) and the Tobacco Regulation Act of 2003 (RA 9211) passed to restrict smoking.

In practice, the Makati district in Manila seems to be the only area where there is active restrictions on smoking in public places.

Some of the Barangays have a dispensary from which a limited range of medication is available. There are a few ambulances on the Island.	All the Barangays appear to have a health centre, and the schedule for the main one pictured above, is illustrated below.

I briefly called in at Lubang District Hospital. A staff member invited me into his office and amongst other things told me that at that time there were five in-patients and two nurses were on duty. There is available two doctors who take turns to be on duty. There is also one dentist, to whom I was introduced.

	At health centres a lot of good, well formulated, health information is displayed to the general public.

	The San Lazarus Medical Clinic does not appear to be operational, and if I get any information on it's history I will include it here.
