What are healthcare services like in Las Galeras?

Answer this Question

We asked retirees if they have access to good medical care in Las Galeras. They wrote...

"Healthcare services in Las Galeras, Dominican Republic are relatively basic, with a few local clinics and pharmacies available for immediate and minor health concerns. For more serious conditions, residents often have to travel to the nearest city, Samana, which is about an hour away. The clinics in Las Galeras are typically staffed by local doctors and nurses who provide general medical care. While the healthcare professionals are dedicated and hardworking, they may not have access to the latest medical technology or specialized treatments. The pharmacies in Las Galeras are well-stocked with common medications, but may not carry more specialized drugs. It's also important to note that while some healthcare providers may speak English, the primary language spoken in healthcare settings is Spanish. Health insurance is not widespread, so many locals and visitors pay out-of-pocket for healthcare services. Despite these challenges, the people of Las Galeras are known for their resilience and resourcefulness in managing health concerns," said a member in Las Galeras, the Dominican Republic.
