"Gambia has a public healthcare system that provides basic medical services to its citizens. The country has a number of hospitals and clinics, as well as a few private medical facilities. Healthcare services in Gambia are generally of a lower quality than those found in more developed countries, and access to medical care can be limited in rural areas. The government has made efforts to improve healthcare services, including increasing access to essential medicines and providing free healthcare for pregnant women and children under five," remarked another expat who made the move to Gambia.
