How much does and MRI scan cost in Ecuador, and how widely available is it?

Question

I'm Canadian - I have no idea what an MRI costs since they're free here.

Answer 1

Try Quito's major hospital, as well as Guayaquil or Cuenca. However, as both Quito and Cuenca are cities with a high altitude, I would try and take the MRI in Guayaquil which is at sea level.  Not that it would make a difference (the altitude) but I'd rather do it in Guayaquil which is a more modern city too. Price? No idea, sorry. Google some hospitals or clinics in Guayaquil, remember hat hospitals in South America are mainly for poor people, clinics are privately owned which would be better for you.

Answer 2

It is available in major hospitals, stick to the capital or Guayaquil. As for cost....it can cost as much as it does here in the states give or take a few.
