Health Care on Roatan

[maineman57]

New to the forum so please have patience with me. I hope I’m posting correctly.

We are exploring different places to retire to. Can someone comment on the health care on Roatan. We are early 60’s and in good health but like anyone will need doctors, pharmacies etc. Thank you in advance.

Unfortunately nothing is guaranteed in a third world country. Especially when it comes to medications. Example: a simple levothyroxine for a thyroid condition which is inexpensive and prevalent throughout the USA; sometimes just isnt available in Roatan. I’ve used GeniusRX for meds but that requires planning at least a month ahead for it to be delivered to you affordably. There are rarely any psychiatric providers here on the island. This island would not be a good solution for your son.

As mentioned, there are several good clinics, doctors on Roatán. Our USA medical insurance is either accepted ( haven’t had the chance to use it yet) or we pay & get reimbursed by our particular insurance. However, Miami is 2 hrs 12 minutes away, for anything major, we intend to fly to States & get it done there.
