Last updated on Mar 01, 2024
Summary: The quality of medical care in Somalia is generally lower than in the United States. Somalia has limited access to medical supplies, equipment, and trained medical personnel, and the quality of care is often inadequate. Emergency services are limited and unreliable, and it can be difficult to call for an ambulance. In some cases, people must rely on private transportation to get to a hospital.

The public healthcare system is largely inadequate and underfunded, with limited access to basic medical supplies and equipment. The quality of public healthcare is generally poor, with limited access to specialized care and treatments.

Expats in Somalia typically use private healthcare providers, as the public healthcare system is not equipped to meet their needs," remarked one expat living in Somalia.
