Summary: The quality of medical care in Brunei is generally considered to be good, with modern facilities and well-trained medical staff. However, it is not as advanced as the medical care available in the United States. Emergency services are available in Brunei, and you can call for an ambulance by dialing 991.
How are healthcare services Brunei?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Brunei, they replied:
"Healthcare services in Brunei are provided by both public and private institutions. The public healthcare system is managed by the Ministry of Health and is funded by the government. It provides a range of services, including primary care, specialist care, hospital care, and preventive health services. The quality of public healthcare is generally good, with modern facilities and well-trained staff. Foreign residents have access to the public healthcare system, although they may need to pay for some services. Expats in Brunei can use the public healthcare system by registering with the Ministry of Health and obtaining a medical card. They may also be able to access private healthcare services, depending on their insurance coverage," mentioned one expat in Brunei.
