Hi Khari,
There’s no Mayo Clinic in Panama (I believe they do have a service for Panamanians traveling to the US). That said, Panama is one of the most sophisticated and technologically advanced countries in Central America—and the capital’s quality healthcare facilities are a function of that.
The major private hospitals have affiliations with prestigious US and Int’l institutions.
Paitilla Hospital is affiliated with Cleveland Clinic, and the two hospitals hold joint conferences in Panama.
Hospital San Fernando affiliated with the Tulane University Health Services Center and Hospital Clinic, Baptist Health International of Miami, and the Miami Children’s Hospital. The San Fernando has a very well-regarded satellite in the beach town of
Coronado and an affiliation with the prestigious Hospital Chiriquí in David.
Hospital Nacional is run by the American Hospital Management Company, which is affiliated with the University of Nebraska Medical Center and the Kendall Medical Center in Florida.
Pacific Salud affiliated with Johns Hopkins Medicine International and is among Latin America’s most technologically advanced hospitals, with state-of-the-art diagnostics and clinical care.
It was the first hospital in Panama City to offer direct billing for Medicare Advantage patients.
Best,
