Panama offers tourists free medical insurance

Not too long ago Panama announced that tourists visiting Panama would receive a complimentary 30 day emergency medical and dental insurance card. We recently met some boaters that flew back into Panama after a visit back to the states and they shared what they learned about the program with us. The card is currently available only at the Tucomen International Airport in Panama City. After clearing customs and immigration one should head to the tourist's information desk to get the card. The instructions are pretty simple. If you have a medical or dental emergency then you just need to present the insurance card and your passport to any medical facility and you'll be well taken care of, compliments of Panama. How cool is that?
