"Healthcare and health insurance in Myanmar can be expensive, especially for those who are not covered by the government's health insurance scheme. Private health insurance is available, but it can be costly and may not cover all medical expenses. Additionally, the quality of healthcare in Myanmar is not always up to international standards, and medical facilities may be limited in some areas. As a result, many people in Myanmar are unable to access the healthcare they need," explained one expat living in Myanmar.
