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

"As a foreigner living in Saipan, you may have access to public healthcare, but it depends on your residency status and whether you have the necessary documentation. Public healthcare in Saipan is provided through the Commonwealth Healthcare Corporation (CHCC), which operates the only hospital on the island, the Commonwealth Health Center. The healthcare system in Saipan faces challenges such as limited resources, understaffed facilities, and a lack of specialized care. Many residents often travel off-island for more advanced medical treatments. It is recommended that foreigners also consider obtaining private health insurance to ensure access to comprehensive healthcare services while living in Saipan," explained one expat living in Saipan, the United States.
