What are medical services in Granada like?

"Medical services in Granada are generally affordable and accessible, with a mix of public and private healthcare facilities available. The public healthcare system offers basic medical care, but may have limited resources, outdated equipment, and long waiting times. Private hospitals and clinics provide better quality care, with more modern equipment and well-trained medical professionals, but at a higher cost. Pharmacies are widely available, and many medications can be purchased over the counter. However, for specialized treatments or complex medical conditions, patients may need to travel to the capital city, Managua, or seek medical care abroad. It is recommended for visitors to have travel health insurance to cover any potential medical expenses," wrote a member who made the move to Granada, Nicaragua.
