What are healthcare services like in Antiguo Cuscatlan?

Answer this Question

We asked retirees if they have access to good medical care in Antiguo Cuscatlan. They wrote...

"Healthcare services in Antiguo Cuscatlan are a mix of public and private providers. The public healthcare system, administered by the Ministry of Health and the Salvadoran Social Security Institute, offers free services to the population, but often faces challenges such as long waiting times, limited resources, and understaffing. On the other hand, private healthcare facilities, which are often preferred by those who can afford them, offer a higher standard of care with more modern equipment and shorter waiting times. Many doctors in these private facilities are bilingual, having received training in the United States or Europe. Pharmacies are widely available and well-stocked, and many medications can be purchased without a prescription. However, access to specialized care and advanced treatments may be limited, particularly for those living in rural areas or those who cannot afford private healthcare," commented one expat who made the move to Antiguo Cuscatlan, El Salvador.
