"Hospitals are 1/2 hour away but the best ones are 2 1/2 hours drive away or 20 minutes helicopter flight. All private hospital. Excellent staff and installation," explained one expat living in Lake Atitlan, Guatemala.
"Emergency services in Lake Atitlan may not be as advanced or readily available as in more developed countries. In case of a medical emergency, it is recommended to go to the nearest health center or hospital. To call for an ambulance, you can dial 122 or 123, which are the national emergency numbers. However, response times may vary, and it is essential to be aware that language barriers may exist when communicating with emergency operators. In some cases, it might be faster to arrange private transportation to the nearest medical facility," said another in Lake Atitlan, Guatemala.
