"As a foreigner living in Porlamar, you may have access to public healthcare, but the quality and availability of services can be quite limited. The public healthcare system in Venezuela has been facing significant challenges in recent years, including shortages of medical supplies, understaffed hospitals, and inadequate infrastructure. It is recommended that foreigners living in Venezuela consider obtaining private health insurance and seeking medical care at private clinics or hospitals, which tend to offer better quality services and shorter waiting times," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Porlamar, Venezuela.
