What are healthcare services like in Colombia?

"We are very pleased with the healthcare system. We feel it is high quality, and much less expensive than in the US," remarked another expat who made the move to Medellin, Colombia.

"Colombia has a well-developed health system that provides a range of health services to the population, including primary care and specialist services. The health system includes a mix of public and private actors, including health-care providers and health-financing entities such as social security and insurance companies. Most Colombians are enrolled in a health insurance plan and receive their primary care services in the top public system known as 'serivicio preferencias' (preferred services). The services are generally good quality, with adequate access to medication and hospital services. Colombia has an increasing number of medical graduates exceeding the number of posts available in both the public and private sectors, thus increasing competition among the providers, and keeping costs relatively low. In addition, many health organizations, public and private, provide programs to educate on health promotion and disease prevention topics as HIV/AIDS, maternal and child health and non-communicable diseases," explained one expat living in Colombia.
