Are healthcare and health insurance expensive in Santiago?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats in Santiago if healthcare and health insurance are expensive in Santiago, they wrote...

"Healthcare and health insurance in Santiago can be considered expensive, especially for those with limited financial resources. The cost of healthcare services and insurance premiums largely depends on the type of coverage and the quality of care one chooses. There are both public and private healthcare systems in Santiago, with the public system being more affordable but often overcrowded and with longer waiting times. On the other hand, the private system offers better quality care and shorter waiting times but at a higher cost. Expats and higher-income individuals often opt for private health insurance to access better facilities and services. Overall, the cost of healthcare and health insurance in Santiago can be a significant financial burden for some residents, while others may find it more manageable depending on their income and chosen healthcare plan," explained one expat living in Santiago, Chile.
