When we asked expats in Panama if healthcare and health insurance are expensive in Panama, they wrote...

"Yes, healthcare and health insurance in Panama are generally more affordable compared to other developed countries. Costs may vary depending on the type of care and the medical center, but overall, they are more economical than in many Western countries," wrote Moises Alvarado N. from Panama Legal Business (PANLEB).

"In the event described above my experience was at least as good as I would have gotten in the U.S. This included the Dr. spending about 45 minutes sewing up the large wound in the back of my arm, 4 return visits for him to look at it to make sure it was healing properly and there was no infection. And on the other days if I hadn't taken and picture by noon to send to him and given an update that it was ok he sent me a text message to ask what was going on. On the 7th day I returned and had the stitches removed all for a grand total of $100. Keep in mind this was an open wound torn open on the pavement that was about a 2" circle exposing the muscle and tendons, this wasn't just a simple cut with stitches. There's a scar but I was amazed at how well it turned out. Not very noticeable unless I just raise my elbow and point it out," commented one expat who made the move to La Chorrera, Panama.
