Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about hospitals in Venezuela

Frequently Asked Questions

The three leading private hospitals for international patients in Caracas are: Hospital de Clínicas Caracas (Las Clínicas) — the oldest and most comprehensive private hospital, covering cardiology, oncology, neurology, and orthopedics; Centro Médico La Trinidad — known for its cardiac surgery program and oncology services; and Clínica El Ávila — which has a strong international patient base, English-speaking staff, and expertise in ophthalmology and general surgery. All three are located in residential Caracas and have experience coordinating care for international and diaspora patients.
Venezuela offers cost savings of 60–80% compared to the United States. A knee replacement that costs $40,000 in the US may cost $8,000–$15,000 in a top Caracas private hospital. Cardiac procedures, elective surgery, ophthalmology, and specialist consultations are all significantly more affordable. International patients paying in US dollars benefit from favorable exchange conditions. Always request a full itemized cost estimate before committing to treatment.
Caracas has elevated crime rates, and personal security planning is essential. Patients should arrange secure airport transfers through their hospital, stay in established residential districts (Altamira, Las Mercedes, El Rosal), and avoid street-hailing taxis. The private hospitals themselves are located in relatively secure areas with professional security. Consult your government's travel advisory before planning a trip, and work closely with your hospital's international patient coordinator for security logistics.
Venezuela's leading private hospitals are particularly strong in: cardiovascular surgery (Centro Médico La Trinidad's cardiac program is regionally recognized), oncology diagnostics and treatment, orthopedic surgery, ophthalmology (including LASIK and retinal surgery at Clínica El Ávila), neurology, and general surgery. Dental care and cosmetic surgery are also available at competitive prices at private clinics throughout Caracas.
The official currency is the Venezuelan Bolívar Soberano (VES), but the US dollar is widely accepted and effectively preferred for international patient payments in Venezuela's private hospitals. Many private medical facilities quote prices in USD to provide stability and predictability for international patients. Carry USD in cash; confirm accepted payment methods (credit cards, wire transfer, cash) directly with your hospital before travel.
