I visited a doctor in Chalten twice, first time for (confirmatory) diagnosis and second for analysis of prescribed medication's effect. I didn't need emergency services or actual hospital stay. The doctor in Chalten spoke B-/C+ English. She had good instincts and friendly manner and decided on the smart way to approach my somewhat complex situation such that I'm still thinking about the proper way to thank her. It wasn't on par with urban medical standards for access to best quality pharma locally but for intellectual and situational rigor I'd put them against my Manhattan specialists. It was a marginally scarier situation because of remoteness and dirty surfaces and 'pay me' front window vibe but mitigated by the clinic/hospital doctors bedside manner.
