How are healthcare services Micronesia?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Micronesia, they replied:
"Healthcare services in Micronesia are provided by both public and private providers. The public healthcare system is funded by the government and is available to all citizens and permanent residents. The quality of public healthcare is generally good, with a range of services available including primary care, hospital care, and specialist care. Foreign residents are able to access the public healthcare system, however, they may be required to pay for some services. Expats in Micronesia can use the public healthcare system, however, they may need to pay for some services. Private healthcare is also available in Micronesia, and expats may choose to use this option if they wish," mentioned one expat in Micronesia.
