What are medical services in Quito like?

When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Quito, they replied...

"Quito offers a wide range of medical services, including both public and private hospitals and clinics. The public hospitals are generally well-equipped and staffed with experienced medical professionals, while the private hospitals offer more specialized services and often have shorter wait times. In addition, there are a number of pharmacies and medical supply stores throughout the city, providing access to a variety of medications and medical supplies. Quito also has a number of medical tourism companies that offer services such as cosmetic surgery, dental care, and fertility treatments," said another expat in Quito, Ecuador.

"My health insurance is with IESS and I've been completely satisfied with the care I've received. I have high cholesterol and a family history of heart disease. When the doctors at the IESS hospital learned this they ordered a complete lipid profile, an EKG, treadmill stress test and echocardiogram and placed me on a statin drug for my cholesterol and a drug for high blood pressure," wrote a member who made the move to Quito, Ecuador.
