Summary: The quality of medical care in Namibia is generally considered to be good, although it is not as advanced as in the United States. Emergency services are available in the major cities, and ambulances can be called by dialing the emergency number, 112. However, in rural areas, medical care is more limited and emergency services may not be available.
How are healthcare services Namibia?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Namibia, they replied:
"Namibia has a public healthcare system that provides basic healthcare services to its citizens. The quality of public healthcare in Namibia is generally considered to be good, with a focus on preventative care and primary healthcare. Foreign residents in Namibia have access to the public healthcare system, although they may be required to pay for some services. Expats in Namibia can use the public healthcare system, but they may need to pay for some services. Expats may also choose to purchase private health insurance to cover any additional costs," commented one expat living in Namibia.
