"As a foreigner living in Caracas, you will have access to public healthcare. However, the public healthcare system in Venezuela is currently facing significant challenges, including shortages of medical supplies, medications, and qualified medical professionals. Many public hospitals and clinics are overcrowded, and the quality of care may not be up to international standards. It is recommended that foreigners living in Caracas consider obtaining private health insurance and seeking medical care at private hospitals and clinics, which generally offer better quality services and facilities," remarked another expat in Caracas, Venezuela.
