"Healthcare services in Puerto Cayo are generally basic, with a small local clinic available for minor health issues. For more serious conditions or emergencies, residents often have to travel to larger cities like Manta or Portoviejo. The local clinic is staffed by nurses and occasionally a visiting doctor. Pharmacies in Puerto Cayo are well-stocked with common medications, but for specialized treatments, one may need to visit larger cities. Private healthcare is also an option in Ecuador, with many expats choosing this for a higher standard of care. It's also important to note that while healthcare professionals in larger cities often speak English, in Puerto Cayo, most healthcare providers primarily speak Spanish," remarked another expat who made the move to Puerto Cayo, Ecuador.
