Hey everyone,

I posted this message on my blog and facebook page earlier today. We discovered a really cool event that should give Expats a chance to become familiar with hospitals and medical care in Cuenca.

If you know anyone in Cuenca that may want to attend please let them know or give them the link to this message on my blog.

"While investigating Cuenca's medical offerings for our series on life in Cuenca, we discovered a special lunch event being held at 12:30 PM on Thursday and Friday of this week that may help you feel more comfortable with using the local hospitals. Both the Thursday and Friday sessions are the same so pick the one that works best for your schedule.

Hospital Del Rio, a newly constructed $45 million dollar facility, is offering a luncheon and tour event for the local expat population. The event offers attendees the chance to tour the facilities and interact with the staff, as well as receive a gift from the hospital.

There is no charge for the event, but reservations are needed. Please call Alexandra Borja, the Hospital del Rio Marketing Manager at 08 489 2254 to make reservations. She speaks English and will be more than happy to help you be a part of the event."

Best Regards,

Benjamin

This is of interest to me as a physician wishing to retire partially and yet keep my hands busy in medicine. Do you know what type of medicine is available to ex-pats there? I see from another source a visit to a physician in 6dllr American, is that so?

Any way to get a work visa while drawing an American pension? Thank you in advance.
