What are healthcare services like in Kiribati?

Answer this Question

We asked retirees if they have access to good medical care in Kiribati. They wrote...

"Kiribati has a limited healthcare system, with most of the services provided by the government. The main hospital is located in the capital, Tarawa, and there are a few smaller health centers located on the outer islands. The government provides basic medical care, including vaccinations, maternal and child health services, and treatment for common illnesses. However, access to specialized care is limited, and many people must travel to other countries for more advanced treatments. Additionally, there is a shortage of healthcare professionals, and many of the existing healthcare workers lack the necessary training and resources to provide quality care," said another expat in Kiribati.
