How are healthcare services Bogota?

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

"Bogota offers a wide range of healthcare services, including both public and private hospitals and clinics. The public healthcare system is funded by the government and provides free or low-cost services to citizens. Private healthcare facilities offer more specialized services and are often more expensive. In addition, Bogota has a number of specialized medical centers that provide specialized care for specific conditions, such as cancer, heart disease, and mental health. The city also has a number of pharmacies and medical supply stores, as well as a number of health insurance companies. Finally, Bogota is home to a number of medical research centers, which are dedicated to researching and developing new treatments and technologies," wrote an expat living in Bogota.
