15 Expats Talk about Health Insurance and Healthcare in Honduras
Last updated on Jan 07, 2024
Summary: The quality of medical care in Honduras 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 911 or contact the local fire department.
How are healthcare services Honduras?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Honduras, they replied:
"Healthcare services in Honduras are provided by both public and private institutions. The public healthcare system is funded by the government and is available to all Honduran citizens. The quality of public healthcare varies depending on the region, but generally it is considered to be of lower quality than private healthcare. Foreign residents do have access to the public healthcare system, but they are not eligible for the same benefits as Honduran citizens. Expats in Honduras typically use private healthcare services, as they are more reliable and of higher quality. However, some expats may use the public healthcare system if they are unable to afford private healthcare," said one expat living in Honduras.
