Accra, Ghana
As a foreigner living in Accra, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Accra if they have access to public healthcare in Accra. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"As a foreigner living in Accra, you will have access to public healthcare, but the quality and availability of services may vary. Public healthcare facilities in Accra are often overcrowded and under-resourced, with long waiting times and limited access to specialized care. It is common for foreigners to opt for private healthcare facilities, which offer better quality services and shorter waiting times, but at a higher cost. It is advisable to have comprehensive health insurance to cover any medical expenses while living in Accra," wrote a member who made the move to Accra, Ghana.
