"Healthcare services in George are quite comprehensive, with both public and private facilities available. The city is home to the George Regional Hospital, a public hospital that provides a wide range of services, including emergency care, maternity services, and various medical and surgical specialties. There are also several private hospitals and clinics in the city, offering high-quality healthcare services. These private facilities often have shorter waiting times and more specialized services, but they can be more expensive. Primary healthcare services, such as general practitioners and pharmacies, are also readily available throughout the city. Despite these services, rural areas surrounding George may have less access to healthcare, and there can be challenges related to affordability and quality of care, particularly in the public sector," remarked another expat in George, South Africa.
