Health Care Quality and Price

5 years ago
Just yesterday, a lady who came on a Panama Relocation Tour, and who lives just down the road from me, fell and broke her wrist. Another neighbor took her to Hospital Mae Lewis in David which is 30 minutes South of Boquete. This is how she explained her experience:

The service and care that I got at that hospital was absolutely phenomenal. I walked in at within five minutes I walked into the triage room and then about five minutes after that I had my x-rays and 10 minutes after that I saw the orthopedic surgeon and he put a cast on me and set an appointment for me for a month from now gave me my pain med prescriptions, which I was able to go and fill right there at the hospital pharmacy.

She was an x-ray technician in the US and said that Mae Lewis has better x-ray equipment then she had in the departments in California.

TOTAL COST, without insurance, was $212 for the ER and $30 for pain medications.
