What are healthcare services like in Nicaragua?

"Nicaragua has a public healthcare system, free to all citizens. The health infrastructure in the country, however, is known to be inadequate, with an uneven distribution of public healthcare services and personnel. There is a lack of resources and even quality basic medicines, leaving many rural and low-income populations at a disadvantage. Furthermore, mental and reproductive health services remain inadequate across the country. In recent years, however, the government has been working to improve healthcare services, as well as to provide more access to citizens in need," wrote a member who made the move to Nicaragua.

"One of the most modern hospitals in Central America is 45 minutes away. We do not have health insurance which will shock many people but the USA is one of very few countries without universal health care. We love our doctor who we feel is better than any doctor we have had in the states. He speaks English and we trust him completely. The office visit is $15. Medical costs are low enough to pay as you go. Our prescriptions are less than the co-pay amount was in the states. How can that be? They are the same drugs," explained one expat living in Granada, Nicaragua.
