Kampala, Uganda

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

Answer this Question

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

"As a foreigner living in Kampala, you will have access to public healthcare, but the quality and availability of services may not be up to the standards you are used to in your home country. Public healthcare facilities in Uganda are often understaffed, underfunded, and lack essential equipment and medications. Additionally, long waiting times and language barriers can make accessing public healthcare challenging. It is recommended that foreigners living in Kampala consider obtaining private health insurance and seeking treatment at private healthcare facilities, which generally offer better quality care and shorter waiting times," said another expat in Kampala, Uganda.
