How are healthcare services in Panama?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Panama, they replied...
"It is not like others want you to believe. It is not up to US standards. The one private hospital wants you to believe they are part of the Johns Hopkins network and they are not. Clinics are often store fronts, crowded and dirty. Equipment is old. ," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Coronado, Panama.
"Make sure you can fly back to the US for health care. You can not get health care in Panama unless you have cash. We were held at gunpoint in Panama till we came up with the CASH following my husband's surgery. Did not matter that we had retired military health insurance," commented one expat who made the move to Coronado, Panama.
