Dear Erica David,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated Oct 14, 2022 04:15:11 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.

Your request

You asked for Cost of Hospitalization.

Response to your request

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance this Office does not have  the information you have requested. The average daily cost of hospitals are not part of the hospital's annual statistical report, thus our office cannot provide such. 

We recommend to ask from the Hospitals directly, keeping in mind that hospitals with different service  capabilities (hospital level) ) vary differently  on costing (e.g. a level 1 hospital's costing may be much lower than a level 3 hospital's) . 

For clarifications on this matter, please contact Health Facility Development Bureau (HFDB) at Tel. No. (02) 8651-7800 Local 1401 or through email at hfdb@doh.gov.ph. 

Thank you very much.
