November 2025 Edition | Your Monthly Guide to Life in Ecuador
Hello Ecuador Explorers,
This month, we're excited to share some valuable insights about Ecuador's healthcare system, known for its affordability without compromising on quality. As many expats discover, this is one of the most compelling reasons to consider Ecuador for retirement or relocation.
Ecuador's Healthcare: Quality Care at Fraction of the Cost
Ecuador continues to attract expats with its exceptional healthcare system that combines modern facilities, well-trained doctors, and surprisingly affordable prices. Many of our community members report paying just $50-80 for specialist consultations that would cost hundreds back home. Most medications are available without prescription and at significantly lower prices than in North America.
Whether you're considering retirement or just looking for a place where your health needs won't deplete your savings, Ecuador offers peace of mind that's hard to find elsewhere. For more information, check out our guide to Ecuador's healthcare system, covering everything from insurance options to doctor visits, pharmacies, and more.
