What the signals say about care
The normalized healthcare index, plus which programs grant local-system access.
How the system works
You navigate the public IPS for workers and residents and private clinics for speed. The WHO reports about 95% coverage via social security, with hospitals concentrated in Asunción.
What you will use
You pay €25–50 for private consults out of pocket at first; insurance at €30–80/mo covers about 80%. Emergencies at public hospitals are free after residency, and pharmacies are ubiquitous.
Quality and access
Urban quality is good (e.g., Sanatorio La Costa), with short private waits. Rural care is basic and specialists run 1–2 weeks out. Expats praise the affordability.
The private market
You choose clinics like Migone (about €40 a visit); dental runs €50–100 and vision exams about €20. International insurance bridges the gaps.
