As a foreigner living in San Juan del Sur, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?

We asked expats in San Juan del Sur if they have access to public healthcare in San Juan del Sur. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...

"As a foreigner living in San Juan del Sur, you will have access to public healthcare. However, the public healthcare system in Nicaragua is not as advanced as those in more developed countries. The facilities may be limited, and the quality of care can vary. In San Juan del Sur, there is a public health center that provides basic medical services, but for more specialized care, you may need to travel to a larger city like Managua. It is also important to note that public healthcare services can be slow, and you may experience long wait times. Many foreigners living in Nicaragua choose to purchase private health insurance to access better quality care in private hospitals and clinics," said another in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua.
