We asked retirees if they have access to good medical care in La Paz. They wrote...

"Healthcare services in La Paz, are a mix of public and private facilities, offering various levels of care to residents and visitors. The public healthcare system, operated by the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS), provides basic medical services to the local population. However, public hospitals and clinics may be crowded, and resources can be limited. On the other hand, private healthcare facilities in La Paz offer a higher standard of care, with modern equipment and well-trained medical professionals. Many doctors and specialists in private hospitals have received training in the United States or Europe and are fluent in English. Private healthcare services can be more expensive, but they generally provide shorter wait times and a more comfortable experience for patients. Pharmacies are widely available throughout La Paz, and many medications can be purchased over the counter without a prescription. However, it is essential to consult with a healthcare professional before taking any medication. Overall, healthcare services in La Paz are accessible and of reasonable quality, but it is recommended for visitors to have travel health insurance to cover any potential medical expenses, especially if they plan to use private healthcare facilities," explained one expat living in La Paz, Mexico.
