Healthcare in Panama > Having a Baby in Panama Reports
Panama City
9 years ago
I went to the Centro Medico Paitilla in downtown Panama City. It's a modern hospital with english speaking doctors, however, while not all of the support staff (nurses, technicians) are bi-lingual - they are all very caring and professional.
I was given an epidural to manage all pain.
I stayed in the hospital ten days, the much lower costs ensured my insurance company did not have any issues with the length of stay. Delivered twins, had two neonatal teams on hand for the delivery, private room for 10 days - all for under $6,000.
Word of mouth.
No.
Don't be afraid, most medical professionals received their training in the United States. Panama is renowed for having the best medical care in all of Central America.
