15 Expats Talk about Health Insurance and Healthcare in Liberia
Last updated on Feb 17, 2023
Summary: The quality of medical care in Liberia is generally lower than in the United States. Emergency services are limited and often unreliable. To call for an ambulance, one must contact the local police station or fire station. However, response times can be slow and the quality of care provided may not be up to the standards of the United States.
How are healthcare services Liberia?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Liberia, they replied:
"Healthcare services in Liberia are limited and the quality of care is generally poor. The public healthcare system is largely underfunded and understaffed, and is unable to meet the needs of the population. The majority of healthcare services are provided by private clinics and hospitals, which are often expensive and out of reach for many people. Foreign residents have access to the public healthcare system, but the quality of care is not as good as in other countries. Expats in Liberia typically use private healthcare services, as they are more reliable and offer better quality care," said one expat.
