How are healthcare services Libya?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Libya, they replied:
"Healthcare services in Libya are provided by both public and private institutions. The public healthcare system is funded by the government and is available to all citizens. The quality of public healthcare varies depending on the region, but generally it is considered to be of a lower standard than in other countries. Foreign residents are able to access the public healthcare system, but they may need to pay for some services. Expats in Libya typically use private healthcare services, as they are more reliable and of a higher quality. However, some expats may use the public healthcare system if they are unable to access private services," said an expat in Libya.
