The city is home to several hospitals, clinics, and health centers that offer a wide range of medical services. Public hospitals, such as the San Juan Medical Center, provide affordable healthcare services to residents, while private hospitals offer more specialized care. The city also has numerous pharmacies where residents can purchase prescription medications. The local government is actively involved in healthcare, implementing programs aimed at improving public health, such as vaccination drives and health education campaigns.
