How are healthcare services Tajikistan?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Tajikistan, they replied:
"Tajikistan has a public healthcare system that provides basic medical services to its citizens. The quality of public healthcare in Tajikistan is generally considered to be low, with limited access to modern medical equipment and medicines. Foreign residents in Tajikistan have limited access to the public healthcare system, and most expats rely on private healthcare services. Expats in Tajikistan may use the public healthcare system for basic medical services, but they are not eligible for the same level of care as citizens. Private healthcare services are generally more expensive, but they offer a higher quality of care," wrote one expat.
