HEALTHCARE
The availability of quality medical and health services ranks at the top of the selection criteria list for just about all retirees seeking a foreign retirement destination. Affordable services, top quality facilities, and well-trained professionals are a must, and all are readily available in Panama.
There are many patients that come to Panama for dental care or plastic surgery while enjoying a vacation with close relatives. The affordability of the services allows for paying for trip-related expenses!
U.S. standard health services are available in Panama at a fraction of the cost in the U.S. The Punta Pacifica hospital, located in one of Panama City’s most desired residential areas, is the only hospital in Latin America to be associated with John Hopkins Medicine International. This relationship brings some of the top doctors in the world, many of whom were trained in the U.S., to provide medical services on par with the top health care institution world wide. Moreover, services are generally provided at 50% or less of the cost in the U.S.
Hospital Nacional is another highly notable private hospital. This modern, private, 80 bed hospital is located just two blocks from the former U.S. Embassy in the heart of Panama City. The hospital’s reputation for excellence has been gained over 30-year period of providing top quality services. In 1998, a new medical complex was built which boasts the most advanced medical technology and equipment in Central America. Administrative services for the hospital are provided by The Family Hospital Group, a notable Boston based hospital management firm. The hospital is also affiliated with the Harvard Medical Faculty of Physicians at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
Even public hospitals in Panama have a respectable reputation. For instance, in 2004 Panama City’s Santo Tomas Hospital received a $110 million facelift, and is currently ranked as the best public hospital in Latin America with services on par or surpassing many similar U.S. facilities.
