As a foreigner living in San Pedro La Laguna, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?

Answer this Question

We asked expats in San Pedro La Laguna if they have access to public healthcare in San Pedro La Laguna. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...

"As a foreigner living in San Pedro La Laguna, you will have access to public healthcare. However, the public healthcare system in Guatemala is known to be underfunded and understaffed, which may result in long waiting times and limited availability of specialized treatments. Additionally, the quality of care in public hospitals and clinics may not be up to the standards you are used to in your home country. It is recommended that foreigners consider obtaining private health insurance and seeking treatment at private healthcare facilities for better quality care and shorter waiting times," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to San Pedro La Laguna, Guatemala.
