As a foreigner living in Macau, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Macau if they have access to public healthcare in Macau. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"Yes, as a foreigner living in Macau, you will have access to public healthcare. Macau's public healthcare system is comprehensive and provides a wide range of services, including primary care, specialist care, hospital care, and preventive health services. The public healthcare system is funded by the government and is free for all residents, including foreigners. The quality of care is generally good, and the staff are friendly and professional," commented one expat who made the move to Macau.
