How are healthcare services Macau?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Macau, they replied:
"Macau has a comprehensive healthcare system that provides a wide range of services to its citizens and foreign residents. The public healthcare system is managed by the Health Bureau of Macau and is funded by the government. The quality of public healthcare is generally good, with a wide range of services available, including primary care, specialist care, and hospital services. Foreign residents have access to the public healthcare system, although they may need to pay a fee for some services. Expats in Macau can use the public healthcare system, but they may need to pay a fee for some services. Expats can also access private healthcare services, which are generally of a higher quality than the public system," wrote an expat living in Macau.
