The Court of Appeals granted full reimbursement. We sustain the award. Under Section 20(B)[2] of the Contract: SECTION 20. COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS xxx B. x x x xxx 2. If the injury or illness requires medical and/or dental treatment in a foreign port, the employer shall be liable for the full cost of such medical, serious dental, surgical and hospital treatment as well as board and lodging until the seafarer is declared fit to work or to [be] repatriated. However, if after repatriation, the seafarer still requires medical attention arising from said injury or illness, he shall be so provided at cost to the employer until such time he is declared fit or the degree of his disability has been established by the companydesignated physician. xxx In the case at bar, Arbit reported for consultation at the St. Thomas Diagnostic, Medical and Dental Clinic, Inc. the day following his arrival in the country. He was diagnosed to be suffering from heart ailment. When endorsed to Dr. Que, the companydesignated physician, he was found to be suffering from ischemic cardiomyopathy. His medical follow-up report dated January 28, 1999 declared him x x x UNFIT for sea duty.[27] Petitioners contention that it instructed Arbit not to go to non-accredited hospitals and transfer to the Metropolitan Hospital does not negate the claim for full reimbursement. First, petitioner failed to prove that it gave such instruction. Second, in the medical follow-up report where Arbit was diagnosed to have ischemic cardiomyopathy, he was merely advised to continue present medication and report for follow-up after completing his initial treatment schedule. No other action was taken by the clinic despite Arbits deteriorating physical condition as attested by his medical certificates from the non-accredited hospitals. Third, the Contract does not specifically state that seafarers must only seek medical attention from hospitals accredited by the employer in order to claim reimbursement. We likewise affirm the award of the Labor Arbiter and the NLRC for sickwage allowance.
