15 Expats Talk about Health Insurance and Healthcare in Turkmenistan
Last updated on Jan 09, 2024
Summary: The quality of medical care in Turkmenistan is generally lower than in the United States. Medical facilities are often outdated and lack the latest technology and treatments. Emergency services are limited and may not be available in all areas. To call for an ambulance, you can dial 103 or 112.
How are healthcare services Turkmenistan?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Turkmenistan, they replied:
"Healthcare services in Turkmenistan are provided by both public and private institutions. The public healthcare system is largely funded by the government and is free for citizens of Turkmenistan. The quality of public healthcare is generally considered to be below average, with limited access to modern medical equipment and medicines. Foreign residents do not have access to the public healthcare system, and must rely on private healthcare services. Expats in Turkmenistan typically use private healthcare services, which are more expensive than public healthcare, but offer better quality care," mentioned one expat in Turkmenistan.
