What are medical services in Nicaragua like?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Nicaragua, they replied...
"My wife and I are near age 70 - expat health insurance has become too costly. We have Medicare coverage in the USA, so plan to return there in case of required hospitalization (non-emergency). We joined a "health plan" that offers discounts at one of the best hospitals in the country," said another in Tola, Nicaragua.

"Medical services in Nicaragua vary greatly depending on the region. In rural areas, access to medical care is limited and often of poor quality. In urban areas, there are more options for medical care, but the quality of care is still not up to the standards of many other countries. The public health system is underfunded and understaffed, and many people rely on private clinics and hospitals for medical care. The government has made efforts to improve access to healthcare, but there is still a long way to go," explained one expat who made the move to Nicaragua.
