Recife - Post Report Question and Answers

Are there any particular health concerns? What is the quality of available medical care? What medical conditions typically require medical evacuation?

Medical care is quite good here and very inexpensive. Although not all doctors speak English, there are quite a few who do. - Aug 2020


Health care is actually pretty good. Recife is a hub for the medical industry in Brazil, so it has decent facilities. - Jun 2014


At least one member of my family is sick nearly every week - mostly allergy symptoms. This is not limited to expats as many Brazilian colleagues suffer similar illnesses. Dengue can be an issue as well. Medical care is generally good - most seem satisfied with doctors, pediatricians, and dentists. - Jan 2011
