As a foreigner living in Bolivia, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Bolivia if they have access to public healthcare in Bolivia. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"Yes, foreigners living in Bolivia have access to public healthcare. The quality of care varies depending on the region, but generally the public healthcare system is considered to be of good quality. The public healthcare system is free for Bolivian citizens, but foreigners may be required to pay a fee for services. In addition, there are private healthcare facilities available in Bolivia, which may offer higher quality care than the public system," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Bolivia.
