As a foreigner living in Quito, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Quito if they have access to public healthcare in Quito. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"Yes, as a foreigner living in Quito, you will have access to public healthcare. The public healthcare system in Ecuador is generally considered to be of good quality, with many hospitals and clinics offering a wide range of services. The public healthcare system is free for Ecuadorian citizens, but foreigners may be required to pay a fee for certain services.
