How are healthcare services Paraguay?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Paraguay, they replied:
"Healthcare services in Paraguay are provided by both public and private institutions. The public healthcare system is funded by the government and is available to all citizens and legal residents. The quality of public healthcare varies depending on the region, but generally it is considered to be of a lower standard than private healthcare. Foreign residents are able to access the public healthcare system, but they may need to pay for some services. Expats in Paraguay generally use the public healthcare system, as it is more affordable than private healthcare. However, some expats may opt to use private healthcare if they are able to afford it," said one expat.
