What are healthcare services like in La Paloma?

"La Paloma, offers a range of healthcare services to its residents and visitors. The town has a local hospital that provides basic medical care, including emergency services, general medicine, and minor surgeries. There are also several clinics and private practices where residents can access specialized care such as dental services, physiotherapy, and mental health support. Pharmacies are well-stocked and can provide over-the-counter and prescription medications. For more complex medical issues, residents may need to travel to larger cities like Montevideo. The healthcare system in Uruguay is a mix of public and private providers, and while the quality of care is generally good, there can be long wait times for non-emergency services. Health insurance is recommended for those seeking private healthcare," remarked another expat who made the move to La Paloma, Uruguay.
