Panama offers high-quality medical care and modern hospitals in its metropolitan areas. Many Panamanian doctors, nurses and technicians have been trained in the US and are bilingual. In addition, the standards at the top hospitals compare favorably to those in the United States and are, as a result, able to provide excellent attention in a very broad variety of specialties to meet everyone’s needs.

All the procedures, services and attention can be obtained at much lower costs than in the US and other countries.
