15 Expats Talk about Health Insurance and Healthcare in Guatemala
Last updated on Feb 03, 2024
Summary: The quality of medical care in Guatemala is generally lower than in the United States. Emergency services are limited and often lack the necessary resources to provide adequate care. To call for an ambulance, one must dial the emergency number, 112. However, due to the limited resources, response times can be slow and the quality of care may not be up to the standards of the United States.

When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Guatemala, they replied:
"Make sure to look for the best doctors, get a private Guatemalan insurance to take you the best hospitals.. forget about public hospital unless it is for emergency," wrote one expat.
