Expat Healthcare Advice for Quito

Go to the best hospital instead of the government hospital. Use the private clinics for basic healthcare and pay out of pocket.

Emergency Medical Care in Quito

I am one block from a clinic, Clinica Primavera. Services there are fine (to see a doctor for a cold or flu). Three blocks away is a very good hospital, Los Valles. Both are private. I have been to the ER in Los Valles a couple of times. The cost was around $300 (once for stitches and once for back pain which included a MRI scan). The quality of care in both were great.
