Additionally, the cost of healthcare services in Bocas del Toro is generally lower than in other parts of Panama," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Bocas del Toro, Panama.
"Bocas has just finished a new modern hospital Centrally located on Isla Colon. There is a quality Med clinic for daily no emergency needs. Several well stocked pharmacies. There are 3 dentist offices. Very good care for more serious instances can be had in Changuenola which is about an hour. Private state of the art care in David or panama city is available too. Depending on the location (private vs. public care) costs can be a fraction of those in the western world. Actual quality care can be had in the public hospitals for free. (lots of retirees unfortunately do not trust these hospitals and attempt to disqualify them ?????)," commented one expat who made the move to Bocas del Toro, Panama.
