What are healthcare services like in Yangon?

"Healthcare services in Yangon, are a mix of public and private facilities, with the public sector often being underfunded and understaffed. The city has several hospitals, including the Yangon General Hospital, which is the largest in the country. However, the quality of care in public hospitals can be inconsistent, with outdated equipment and limited resources. Private hospitals and clinics are available, offering better quality care and more modern facilities, but at a higher cost. Many expatriates and wealthier locals prefer to seek medical treatment in private facilities or travel abroad for more specialized care. Access to healthcare services in rural areas surrounding Yangon is limited, with many people relying on traditional medicine or traveling to the city for treatment. Overall, the healthcare system in Yangon faces challenges in terms of infrastructure, funding, and accessibility, but there are ongoing efforts to improve the quality and availability of healthcare services in the city," commented one expat who made the move to Yangon, Myanmar.
