Medical Care in Coron: Hospitals, Clinics, Pharmacies & Emergencies
Nobody plans to need a doctor while visiting Coron, but knowing where to go can make a major difference.
Coron has a government hospital, health center, private clinics and pharmacies. For cases requiring a higher level of hospital care, Culion Sanitarium and General Hospital is an important regional facility.

For More Serious Cases: Culion
An important facility visitors should know about is Culion Sanitarium and General Hospital (CSGH) in Culion.
Unlike Coron District Hospital, CSGH is a Level 2 general hospital with approximately 200 beds and provides services including surgery, internal medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, radiology and laboratory services.
Patient Navigation & Referral:
0927 038 5325
0951 208 7304
Emergency/Admitting:
0966 367 0537
0946 964 9256
Culion is on another island, so reaching the hospital requires transport coordination. In a major emergency, don't attempt to organize the transfer yourself. Contact Coron District Hospital, your tour operator or local emergency services so medical professionals can determine the appropriate referral and transport.
