Are the doctors in Bastimentos, Panama good?
JB Seligman - BUENA VISTA REALTY located in BOCAS DEL TORO, PANAMA
There are no government hospitals or private medical facilities on Bastimentos. The nearest (small) hospital with no specialists to speak of is in Bocas town. There is a slightly better hospital in the mainland town of Changuinola, 1 hour away including water taxi to the mainland, and there are perfectly good private hospitals in the mainland town of David, a 4 hours trip away (counting getting to the mainland). You are also 1 hour away by plane, from world class medial services...
