How are healthcare services Playa del Carmen?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Playa del Carmen, they replied:
"Playa del Carmen offers a wide range of healthcare services for both locals and visitors. The city has a number of private hospitals and clinics that provide quality medical care, including general practice, emergency services, and specialized treatments. Additionally, there are a number of pharmacies and medical supply stores that offer over-the-counter medications and medical supplies. For those seeking alternative treatments, Playa del Carmen also has a number of holistic health centers that offer acupuncture, massage, and other natural therapies," commented one expat living in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.
"Medical care is readily available in our area and we have a very nice private hospital called Hospitan. Another private hospital - not as well equipped - CostaMed. The doctors all speak English and as we have Global Health insurance, we have the option to choose any hospital or doctor we wish. Private hospitals are really the only way to go if you expect the type of facilities and services that you would receive in the United States. As Playa Del Carmen is a smaller community, many times you will need to go to Cancun for specific needs. They have several private hospitals - Galenia, a larger Hospitan. If you have a chronic medical condition you might want to check with either hospital to make sure that the resources you will need are available," wrote one expat.
