An Overview of Medical Services in Antigua

Whenever you are planning your next vacation destination, it is important to have an understanding of the medical facilities and services available should you or a loved one become sick or have an accident. A full range of medical care is available in Guatemala City, but medical care outside the city is limited. Care in private hospitals is generally adequate for most common illnesses and injuries, and many of the medical professionals who work there are trained and board-certified in the United States.
