As a foreigner living in Port of Spain, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?

Answer this Question

We asked expats in Port of Spain if they have access to public healthcare in Port of Spain. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...

"As a foreigner living in Port of Spain, you will have access to public healthcare. The public healthcare system in Trinidad & Tobago is available to both citizens and non-citizens, offering a range of services including primary care, emergency care, and hospitalization. However, the quality of public healthcare may vary, with some facilities facing challenges such as long waiting times, limited resources, and occasional shortages of medication. It is recommended that you also consider obtaining private health insurance to ensure access to a wider range of services and higher quality care," commented one expat who made the move to Port of Spain, Trinidad & Tobago.
