Local Health Insurance
Ecuador’s public system is called IESS (Instituto Ecuatoriano de Seguridad Social). However, foreigners who are not employed formally have limited access to it. Publicly funded clinics are often overcrowded and technically limited.
International Health Insurance
An international policy ensures better access to private clinics in major cities like Quito or Guayaquil and covers expensive evacuations if necessary. This saves you from waiting lists and inadequate equipment in state facilities.
