Are healthcare and health insurance expensive in Kathmandu?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats in Kathmandu if healthcare and health insurance are expensive in Kathmandu, they wrote...

"Healthcare and health insurance in Kathmandu, can be considered expensive for the average citizen, especially when compared to their income levels. The public healthcare system is often overcrowded and under-resourced, leading many people to seek private healthcare services, which can be costly. Health insurance is not widely available or utilized, and those who do opt for it may find the premiums to be high. Additionally, the quality of healthcare services can vary greatly, with more advanced treatments and facilities often coming at a higher price. As a result, many people in Kathmandu may struggle to afford proper healthcare and health insurance," remarked another expat who made the move to Kathmandu, Nepal.
