How are local medical facilities in Panama?
We asked members about local medical facilities in Panama, they wrote...
"Medical facilities in Panama are generally well equipped with modern technology, highly trained staff, and modernized infrastructure. The quality of medical care is excellent and there are many highly skilled specialists working in both public and private hospitals throughout the country. The Panamanian government also supports preventative health care and treatment, so many health issues can be identified and managed before they become more serious. Furthermore, there is a general consensus that Panama offers a high standard of healthcare with quick access to medical care and patient-centered approach to care," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Panama.
"There is a clinic in town where you can consult a doctor 24/7 for $2.00. If you have a real emergency they will take you by ambulance to the hospital in Las Tablas or Chitre. We have not used the hospital but have used some of the private clinics in Chitre for specific problems and that has been economical and good," commented one expat who made the move to Pedasi, Panama.
