How are healthcare services in Colombia?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Colombia, they replied...
"Pay the higher insurance premium to insure quicker access to specialists. Have at least a working knowledge of the language as most doctors speak no English. ," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Colombia.
" Minor problems can be taken care of here, but really serious problems require a trip to a bigger City like Bogota which is 11 hours away by car.," commented one expat who made the move to Florencia, Colombia.
