As a foreigner living in Bali, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Bali if they have access to public healthcare in Bali. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"As a foreigner living in Bali, you will have access to public healthcare, but the quality and availability of services may vary. Public healthcare facilities in Bali are generally not up to the standards of those in Western countries, with limited resources, outdated equipment, and long waiting times. Many expats and tourists prefer to use private healthcare facilities, which offer better quality care but at a higher cost. It is recommended to have comprehensive health insurance to cover any medical expenses while living in Bali," remarked another expat who made the move to Bali, Indonesia.
