What are healthcare services like in Cartagena?

Answer this Question

We asked retirees if they have access to good medical care in Cartagena. They wrote...

"Healthcare services in Cartagena are generally of high quality, with a number of modern hospitals and clinics available. The city is known for its advanced medical facilities and highly trained medical professionals. Many of these professionals have received training abroad and are fluent in English, making it easier for foreign patients to communicate their needs. The healthcare system in Cartagena is a mix of public and private providers. Public healthcare is available to all residents, but many people choose to use private healthcare for its perceived higher quality and shorter waiting times. Cartagena is also a popular destination for medical tourism, with people from around the world traveling to the city for procedures such as cosmetic surgery, dental work, and eye surgery. The city's hospitals are well-equipped to handle a wide range of medical procedures and treatments. Pharmacies are widely available throughout the city, and many medications can be purchased without a prescription. However, it's always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication. Despite the high quality of healthcare in Cartagena, it's important for visitors to have travel insurance that covers medical expenses, as healthcare costs can be high, particularly for complex procedures or emergency care. Overall, Cartagena offers a high standard of healthcare, with a wide range of services available to both residents and visitors," commented one expat who made the move to Cartagena, Colombia.
