Julien,

Our healthcare is far from perfect, but at least pays for most of our medicines and surgery procedures that most Peruvians couldn't afford without it. In my personal experience -as a Peruvian-born citizen- public healthcare has been helpful enough to take care of myself and my whole family. The main drawback may be the fact that they usually don't have ALL the drugs u are prescripted, so u need to go to a private drugstore anyways to get some.

Of course, if u can really afford it, I suggest u take ur time to consider private health insurance. There are several companies and what I dislike about them is the half-truths & 'small letters' on their contracts, which usually mean the more u pay, the more decent the deal will be. So again- Read the small letters. Ask a Peruvian friend who is into that insurance. No need to rush into the first deal u are offered.

One advantage of private health insurance is that u really save time since there are no endless lines to wait in, and the medical staff will treat u much more nicely.

BTW, compared to the American system, I can tell u for sure Peruvian healthcare is paradise :-)

Hope my answer was helpful.

Good luck!

Thank you spanisharecom for your contribution.
