The hospital Cira García in Havana is specialized in offering medical services to foreigners in Cuba. You can contact them by phone or email. Note that phone calls to Cuba are usually very expensive.
Like any medical specialists, in any country, advance booking is likely a necessity. You could walk in but if they’re busy or on leave, you wouldn’t be able to see anyone.
So I’d recommend contacting a few in advance. This is relatively easy to do online:
- The Frank Pais Orthopedic Hospital in Havana (I saw this when I went through the city in July) has an online enquiry form at the bottom of the page
- Hospital Hermanos Ameijeiras – also in Havana – has an online enquiry form
- and for somewhere else, Hospital Universitario Lenin in Holguin has an enquiry form too. Although I assume you’ll want one in Havana for ease of flight access.
Costs are going to vary depending on your case, treatment and procedure, and as such any past examples are likely to only be indicative rather than accurate.
One further thing to consider – sure you could get treatment in another country that isn’t the US (like Cuba), but if something goes wrong – or you have a complication upon returning to the US, your local US hospital or specialist might be reluctant to treat you as a result.
