LEVEL 1 HOSPITAL

According to the government’s Hospital Licensure Act, a hospital is a 24-hour facility that’s


devoted to the diagnosis, treatment, and care of people suffering from illnesses, diseases, or
injuries.

In the Philippines, hospitals fall under 3 different levels as set out by DOH guidelines.

Level 1 is the most basic. According to Dr. Hartigan-Go, hospitals under this bracket don’t
require intensive care units (ICU), and cater to patients who need minor care and supervision.

If there's a need for a referral, a patient can go to a Level 2 hospital. A Level 2 hospital contains
all the elements of Level 1, as well as additional facilities like an ICU for critically ill patients
and specialist doctors for gynecology and pediatric services.

If you need a high-level specialty intervention like physical rehabilitation or dialysis treatment,
then you go to a Level 3 hospital.

Some hospitals also serve as training facilities for nurses and doctors. Regardless of
classification, all hospitals need to have emergency room services.
