How are healthcare services Barbados?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Barbados, they replied:
"Barbados has a comprehensive healthcare system that provides a range of services to its citizens and foreign residents. The public healthcare system is funded by the government and is free for all citizens. The quality of public healthcare is generally good, with a range of services available including primary care, specialist care, and hospital services. Foreign residents are able to access the public healthcare system, although they may be required to pay for some services. Expats in Barbados can use the public healthcare system, but they may need to pay for some services. Expats can also access private healthcare services, which are generally of a higher quality than the public system," remarked one expat in Barbados.
