Healthcare System
Paraguay has public and private healthcare. Private or international health insurance is usually sensible for emigrants, especially for families, retirees, or people with pre-existing conditions.
Public Healthcare
The public system is important but can be overloaded regionally. Many emigrants use private clinics for planned care.
Private Clinics
Asunción has several known private providers, including Sanatorio Migone, Hospital Italiano, Sanatorio Santa Clara, and Hospital Bautista. Quality, specialties, and costs should be checked for the specific location.
Insurance Costs
Premiums depend heavily on age, pre-existing conditions, exclusions, and coverage. Estimates should always be compared with current offers.
Vaccinations
Vaccinations should be reviewed with a travel medicine professional before departure. Yellow fever can be relevant depending on route within Paraguay and arrival from risk areas; routine vaccinations should be current.
Emergency
The emergency number is 911. Also check private emergency contacts, nearest clinic, and transport options at your location.
