Summary: The quality of medical care in Bolivia is generally lower than in the United States. Bolivia has a shortage of medical professionals and medical facilities, and the quality of care is not as high as in the US. Emergency services in Bolivia are limited and often slow to respond. To call for an ambulance, you can dial 118 or contact your local police station.

How are healthcare services Bolivia?

When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Bolivia, they replied:

"Healthcare services in Bolivia are provided by both public and private institutions. The public healthcare system is funded by the government and is available to all Bolivian citizens. 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 do have access to the public healthcare system, but they are required to pay for services. Expats in Bolivia typically use the private healthcare system, as it is more reliable and of a higher quality than the public system," mentioned one expat in Bolivia.
