What are healthcare services like in South Africa?
We asked retirees if they have access to good medical care in South Africa. They wrote...
"South Africa has a comprehensive healthcare system that provides a range of services to its citizens. Primary healthcare services are provided through a network of public clinics and hospitals, while private healthcare services are also available. The public healthcare system is largely funded by the government, and provides access to basic medical care, including preventive care, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation. Private healthcare services are typically more expensive, but offer a higher level of care and access to more specialized services. South Africa also has a number of specialized healthcare facilities, such as mental health facilities, HIV/AIDS clinics, and cancer treatment centers," commented one expat who made the move to South Africa.
