    At holy child hospital you can go in and order and pay for your X-ray before seeing a doctor.
    Also you get to take the X-ray away with you so as you can show it to a physician of your choosing , unlike Sillimun hospital who keep your X-ray.
    Holy child X-rays are also nearly half the price of Silliman’s.
    All the above is from personal experience from a few months ago after going to both hospitals.

    Looks like the price of the X-rays varies as we paid double that for a chest X-ray at Silliman, which is still extremely cheap compared to back in the UK.
    Anyways, it’s good to here you are feeling a little better and hope your health improves further.

    I had one done and did it the same way as I do my labs. I pay the day before, then go back the next day early, like say 5:30. X-Ray section is a 24/7 operation. No line at that time, just a sleepy cute technician. Was done in a snap and went and had breakfast.

    A thread like this one is the essence of why this site is so valuable to us all - and why, again, I say 'thanks Mr W'.

    Mike you can't just walk in unfortunately, you need a Doctor's referral. But to answer your ? It is through the main Hall where the cash desks are and follow the corridor to the rear of the Building, It is Sign Posted

    Hi Brendan thanks for the info. I had my chest xray at Sillimen Medical Center yesterday cost P420 which seems pretty cheap particularily compared to Western prices! They gave me the xray straight away and I could take it to any doctor I guess. Will take it to Dr Bobbin-Sy my pulmonary specialist at Silliman Medical Center for appraisal and hope no signs of pneumonia! I have been diagnosed with COPD and now on a Seretide Inhaler twice a day which so far seems to be really helping and my cough has gone:laugh: Cheers

    But not unreasonable. Faster than in the US, between getting tested and knowing results.

    Luckily I was there at 0945 just before the students rolled in, out by 1200. The chest x took only a short time but I had some more throat ones taken (incl. swallowing dirty stain, three good against three not) what took forever and than waiting for the approval. Pick up tomorrow.
