How are healthcare services in Lima?

Answer this Question

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

"Healthcare services in Lima, are a mix of public and private providers, offering various levels of care to the city's residents. The public healthcare system, known as EsSalud, is funded by the government and provides basic medical services to the majority of the population. However, it is often criticized for being overcrowded, understaffed, and having long waiting times. In contrast, private healthcare facilities in Lima are known for providing higher quality care, with modern equipment and well-trained medical professionals. These facilities cater to those who can afford private insurance or are willing to pay out-of-pocket for their medical needs. Some of the top private hospitals in Lima include Clinica Internacional, Clinica Delgado, and Clinica San Felipe. In addition to hospitals and clinics, Lima also has numerous pharmacies where residents can purchase medications and other health-related products. Many pharmacies are open 24 hours a day and offer a wide range of medicines, both over-the-counter and prescription. Lima's healthcare services also include various specialized centers for specific medical needs, such as dental clinics, mental health facilities, and rehabilitation centers. Additionally, the city has several medical schools and research institutions, contributing to the development of healthcare professionals and advancements in medical research. Overall, healthcare services in Lima, Peru, offer a range of options for residents, with public facilities providing basic care and private institutions offering more advanced treatments. However, access to quality healthcare remains a challenge for many, particularly those who cannot afford private insurance or out-of-pocket expenses," said a member in Lima, Peru.
