When we asked members about emergency services in Nicaragua, they wrote...

"Emergency services in Nicaragua are limited and vary in quality. In the event of an emergency, the best way to call for an ambulance is to dial 118, which is the national emergency number. Ambulances are often slow to arrive and may not be equipped with the necessary medical supplies. It is recommended to call a private ambulance service if possible," commented one expat who made the move to Nicaragua.

"Consider using Hospital Vivian Pellas in Managua for critical healthcare. Look for a local doctor that speaks English for routine healthcare. We have Medicare in the USA, so we could return there for hospital care if desired. Most medications can be obtained without a written prescription (excluding opioids)," remarked another expat in Managua, Nicaragua.
