Paraguay, with its pleasant climate and growing economic opportunities, attracts many expatriates each year. However, settling in a new country requires adapting to its healthcare system, which is quite different from those in Europe or the United States.
Paraguay has a public healthcare system that is accessible to everyone, although it has limitations in terms of quality and accessibility. The public network sometimes suffers from shortages of equipment and personnel, making access to care often unequal across regions. The private sector, well-developed in major cities like Asunción, helps fill these gaps but can be costly.
Good to know: Some specialized treatments or advanced medical care may not be available in the country and might require medical evacuations to neighboring countries.
For expatriates, choosing between local insurance and international coverage can be tricky. Local insurance may cover basic care at a reduced cost but will not cover overseas treatment or repatriation. In contrast, international insurance offers extensive coverage across multiple countries, catering to the mobility and safety needs of expatriates. It also includes access to the best private facilities, which is a significant advantage in a system that can sometimes be limited like Paraguay's.
When living in Paraguay, it is essential to know where to turn in case of a medical need. The capital, Asunción, is home to several reputable private hospitals that provide quality healthcare services. These facilities are often equipped with modern technology and staffed by medical teams trained internationally, which can make a difference in emergencies.
In these hospitals, you will find a wide range of medical specialties and care tailored to expatriates, including efficient emergency services. Furthermore, the staff is generally English-speaking, making communication easier. It is advisable to research the available facilities before even arriving to select one that best meets your needs. In an emergency, it is reassuring to know that a good hospital is nearby, ready to provide swift and appropriate care.
