What are medical services in La Ceiba like?

"Medical services in La Ceiba, are relatively limited compared to more developed countries. The city has a few hospitals and clinics, including a public hospital and some private facilities. The public hospital often faces challenges such as overcrowding, lack of resources, and understaffing. Private hospitals and clinics generally offer better quality care, but they can be expensive for locals and may not have all the necessary equipment or specialists for certain treatments. For more complex medical issues, patients may need to travel to larger cities like Tegucigalpa or San Pedro Sula. It is also important to note that medical staff may not be fluent in English, so communication can be a challenge for non-Spanish speakers," explained one expat living in La Ceiba, Honduras.
