How are healthcare services in Panama?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Panama, they replied...
"Healthcare services in Panama are generally of a high quality, with both public and private options available. The public healthcare system is funded by the government and is free for all Panamanian citizens. It is also available to foreign residents, although they may have to pay a fee. The public healthcare system is generally of a good quality, with a wide range of services available. Expats in Panama can use the public healthcare system, although they may have to pay a fee. Private healthcare is also available in Panama, and is generally of a higher quality than the public system. Private healthcare is more expensive than the public system, but it is often preferred by expats due to the higher quality of care," wrote a member who made the move to Panama.

"Like many countries, Panama's best medical facilities are concentrated in urban areas. Punta Pacifica, a private facility in Panama City, is considered the most technologically advanced hospital in Latin America and is affiliated with Johns Hopkins Hospital. There are other hospitals such as Paitilla, San Fernando, Nacional and more. Nearly all doctors in Panama speak English, as do many nurses. Panama City in particular is home to superb healthcare facilities. In fact, the city is one of the regional leaders for medical tourism and dental work, plastic surgery, stem cells treatments, and joint replacement surgeries. ," wrote Business Panama from Business Panama Group.
