What are medical services in Cuenca like?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Cuenca, they replied...
"Don't come down here looking for a miracle cure for your ails. You would find the experience frustrating and assistance costs would wipe out the advantage I think. I do know from some other gringos, and gringo sites, that some medications are not available here, I don't have that experience," said a member in Cuenca, Ecuador.
