Panama mulls free health insurance for visitors

Monday, March 27, 2017


Free health insurance for visitors to Panama is back on the table after the initial attempt was abandoned due to cost concerns.

The Tourism Authority is considering re-introducing  the benefit of free insurance for medical expenses for visitors, but adjusting the scope and term of the coverage.

Authorities are assessing the changes that would be needed in order to implement program for tourists once again, seeing as it had proved  a valuable promotional tool.
