What are healthcare services like in Puerto Rico?
We asked retirees if they have access to good medical care in Puerto Rico. They wrote...
"Healthcare services in Puerto Rico are a mix of public and private providers, with the government providing healthcare services through a universal healthcare system. The island has a high standard of medical facilities and services, with many doctors and healthcare professionals being trained in the U.S. However, the healthcare system has faced challenges due to economic difficulties and the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, leading to a shortage of medical professionals and resources. In Ecuador, healthcare services are provided through a combination of public and private healthcare systems. The public healthcare system is free and available to all residents, but it is often characterized by long wait times and limited resources. On the other hand, the private healthcare system offers high-quality medical care with modern facilities and equipment, but it can be expensive. Many doctors and healthcare professionals in Ecuador are trained in the U.S. or Europe, ensuring a high standard of care. However, access to healthcare can be challenging in rural areas, where resources and facilities are limited," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Puerto Rico, Ecuador.
