As a foreigner living in Paraguay, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Paraguay if they have access to public healthcare in Paraguay. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"Yes, foreigners living in Paraguay have access to public healthcare. The public healthcare system in Paraguay is generally considered to be of good quality, with a wide range of services available. The public healthcare system is funded by the government and is free for all citizens and legal residents. The public healthcare system is made up of a network of hospitals, clinics, and health centers, which provide a range of services including primary care, specialist care, and emergency care. The quality of care varies from place to place, but overall it is considered to be of a good standard," said another in Paraguay.
