Siargao Island Medical Center (SIMC)

Info · Dapa, Siargao

The island's main public hospital, located in Dapa about 30-40 minutes by road from General Luna. Following major post-Odette upgrades completed through 2025 it now operates as a Level 2 general hospital with around 100 beds, a clinical and molecular laboratory, a women's center, and basic surgical, medical, pediatric and OB-GYN services.

Good to know: For minor issues (infected reef cuts, stomach bugs, motorbike scrapes) private clinics and pharmacies in General Luna can treat you faster; go to SIMC in Dapa for anything serious. Serious trauma or specialist cases may still be transferred to Surigao City or Cebu - travel insurance with medical evacuation cover is strongly recommended, and bring cash as upfront payment is the norm.

ATMs & Cash on Siargao

ServicesInfo General Luna

Siargao is still overwhelmingly a cash island: most restaurants, homestays, surf instructors, tricycle drivers and tour operators do not take cards. Working ATMs are concentrated in General Luna (BDO machines at the bank branch plus one near Little Nap Inn, and a scattering of Euronet machines) and in Dapa town, and they regularly run out of cash on weekends and holidays.
