As a foreigner living in Cuenca, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?

Answer this Question

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

"Yes, every expat is required by law to have insurance. The federal system is available, and costs $68/mo for a couple. However, health care is so cheap that I skip the (underfunded and long lines) IESS (federal system) and pay out of pocket for private health care anyway," explained one expat living in Cuenca, Ecuador.

"Yes, as a foreigner living in Cuenca, you will have access to public healthcare. The public healthcare system in Cuenca is generally considered to be of good quality, with many hospitals and clinics offering a wide range of services. The cost of healthcare is also relatively low compared to other countries, making it an attractive option for those looking for affordable medical care," said another in Cuenca, Ecuador.
