Panama has never been hit by a major hurricane or earthquake thanks to its unique geographic position. |

Affordable First-World Health Care
Panama's healthcare facilities are the best in Central America because they were built to US standards during the 90-year American presence and today, many of Panama's doctors and specialists are educated and trained in the States. Health care is very affordable and widely available, even offering such personal services as house calls and live-in nurses. |
