As a foreigner living in Batam, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Batam if they have access to public healthcare in Batam. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"As a foreigner living in Batam, 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 Batam can be overcrowded, and the staff may not speak English fluently. Additionally, the range of medical services and treatments available may be limited compared to private healthcare facilities. It is recommended that foreigners living in Indonesia consider obtaining private health insurance to access better quality healthcare services in private hospitals and clinics," remarked another expat in Batam, Indonesia.
