15 Expats Talk about Health Insurance and Healthcare in Myanmar

By Joshua Wood, LPC

Last updated on Jan 10, 2024

Summary: The quality of medical care in Myanmar is generally lower than that of the United States. Emergency services are limited and often lack the necessary resources to provide adequate care. To call for an ambulance, one must contact the local police station or fire station.

How are healthcare services Myanmar?

When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Myanmar, they replied:

"Healthcare services in Myanmar are provided by both public and private institutions. The public healthcare system is largely underfunded and understaffed, resulting in a lack of quality care. The public healthcare system is also limited in its scope, with many services not available to the general public. Foreign residents have limited access to the public healthcare system, and most expats in Myanmar opt to use private healthcare services. Private healthcare services are generally of higher quality than public services, but they are also more expensive. Expats in Myanmar may also be able to access some public healthcare services, such as vaccinations, but they are not eligible for the same level of care as citizens," wrote one expat.
