The Boracay arm of a Kalibo hospital group, on Ambulong Road at the southern end of the island. Read the name carefully: PhilHealth accredits it as a ten-bed infirmary, not as a hospital, so it handles the ordinary run of travel illness and minor injury and refers everything bigger — usually to its own 120-bed hospital in Kalibo.
What it is known for
Being private, being open at night and being close to the jetty. Saint Gabriel Medical Center Boracay sits on Ambulong Road in Manoc-Manoc, at the southern end of the island, and belongs to the Saint Gabriel group whose 120-bed hospital is in Kalibo. It offers medicine, paediatrics, obstetrics and gynaecology, minor surgery, maternity care and an emergency and outpatient service, with a clinical laboratory, diagnostic X-ray, ultrasound and a pharmacy on site. The name says medical center; the PhilHealth register says ten-bed infirmary, and the register is the better guide to what it can take on.
Who it suits
A traveller staying in the south of the island with a stomach bug, a fever, an ear or skin infection, a cut that needs closing, or a scooter graze that needs cleaning properly — and anyone who would rather pay for a private room and a short wait than queue. It is a reasonable first look at a problem at three in the morning. It is not the place for major trauma, a heart attack, anything needing intensive care, or an injury that will need an operating theatre: those go to Ciriaco S. Tirol Hospital or straight across to Kalibo.
Cost and insurance
Private prices, several times the public hospital and still modest by Western standards. A deposit is expected before admission and the bill is settled before discharge, from foreign patients as a matter of course. Direct billing here is arranged with Philippine health plans rather than foreign travel insurers, so assume you will pay and claim, and telephone your insurer’s assistance line before a stay rather than after it. Ask for an itemised receipt and an English medical certificate on the way out; both are standard requests and both are needed for a claim.
Getting there
On Ambulong Road in Manoc-Manoc, the barangay covering the southern third of the island, a few minutes by e-trike from Cagban jetty port and ten to fifteen from Station 3. Ring +63 36 288 9911, or the mobile numbers on Smart and Globe if the landline does not answer — on Boracay the mobile is often the faster route. If you are arriving on the island already unwell, this is the nearest medical facility to the boat, which is a real advantage on a bad crossing.
