"Healthcare services in Volcan are generally of good quality, with both public and private healthcare facilities available. The public healthcare system is run by the Ministry of Health and the Social Security System, providing free or low-cost services to residents. However, these facilities may be crowded and have long waiting times. On the other hand, private healthcare facilities offer more personalized care and shorter waiting times, but at a higher cost. Many doctors and medical staff in Volcan are bilingual, speaking both Spanish and English, which is beneficial for expats or tourists. There are several clinics and pharmacies in Volcan, providing basic medical services. For more serious or specialized medical conditions, residents may need to travel to larger cities like David or Panama City. In terms of emergency services, Volcan has a local Red Cross station that provides ambulance services. However, it's important to note that response times may be slower than in more urban areas. Overall, while healthcare services in Volcan are generally reliable and of good quality, it's recommended for residents, especially expats, to have comprehensive health insurance to cover any potential medical costs," remarked another expat who made the move to Volcan, Panama.
