Are healthcare and health insurance expensive in Ethiopia?
When we asked expats in Ethiopia if healthcare and health insurance are expensive in Ethiopia, they wrote...
"Healthcare and health insurance in Ethiopia can be expensive for many people. The cost of medical care is often beyond the reach of many people, especially those living in rural areas. Additionally, health insurance is not widely available in Ethiopia, and those who do have access to it often find that the premiums are too high. As a result, many people in Ethiopia are unable to access the healthcare they need due to the cost," wrote a member who made the move to Ethiopia.
