Uruguay is a Spanish speaking country on the southeastern side of South America. It is one of the more affluent countries on the continent and has advanced social security, education and democratic institutions. The country is still trying to overcome the political and economic turmoil of the 1970s but has a large middle class and relatively low level of poverty. There are some excellent beaches in the country that border the Atlantic ocean.
Healthcare in Uruguay
Expatriates and many local nationals are able to secure quality health care throughout much of Uruguay, which has a universal health care system. Public clinics and hospitals are often crowded, but you can obtain medical treatment in private facilities. The most popular private hospital is the British Hospital in the Montevideo where you will find English doctors and staff. Most expatriates will want to obtain private medical coverage from a large and well known global insurance company. Despite the good level of medical care in Uruguay, you will still want to obtain adequate evacuation coverage.
