Are healthcare and health insurance expensive in Lake Atitlan?

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

"Healthcare and health insurance in Lake Atitlan can be considered relatively affordable compared to more developed countries. However, the cost of healthcare services and insurance may vary depending on the type of coverage, medical facility, and the specific needs of an individual. Public healthcare facilities are generally cheaper but may have limited resources and longer wait times, while private clinics and hospitals offer better quality care at a higher cost. Health insurance plans are available for both locals and expats, with options ranging from basic coverage to comprehensive plans. It is important to note that while healthcare costs in Lake Atitlan may be lower than in other countries, the quality of care and availability of specialized treatments may also be limited," wrote a member who made the move to Lake Atitlan, Guatemala.
