What are medical services in Negombo like?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Negombo, they replied...
"Medical services in Negombo, are relatively accessible, with a mix of public and private healthcare facilities available. The city has a government hospital, the Negombo District General Hospital, which provides basic healthcare services and emergency care. There are also several private hospitals and clinics in the area, offering a range of medical services, including specialist consultations, diagnostic services, and dental care. However, the quality of healthcare may vary between facilities, and more complex medical cases may require patients to travel to Colombo, the capital city, for advanced treatment. It is also important to note that medical staff may have limited English proficiency, which could pose communication challenges for foreign visitors," said another expat in Negombo, Sri Lanka.
