Panama has quite an edge as far as Health Tourism is concerned, let alone its being a safe and politically stable country blessed with tropical weather conditions nearly all year round and living costs that are merely a fraction of those found in the U.S. and Europe. Panama City is a cosmopolitan burg with American-made infrastructure. The U.S. dollar has been the local currency since 1904, so inflation and currency fluctuation risks are very slim. It’s equipped with a state-of-the-art telecommunication network and Panamanians speak English as their second language. Panama features an excellent geographical location and is considered the “Bridge of the Americas,” with daily nonstop flights from five major U.S. cities.
