As a foreigner living in Papua New Guinea, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Papua New Guinea if they have access to public healthcare in Papua New Guinea. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"Yes, foreigners living in Papua New Guinea have access to public healthcare. The quality of care varies depending on the region, but generally the public healthcare system is underfunded and understaffed. In some areas, the facilities are outdated and lack basic medical supplies. However, there are some areas with modern facilities and well-trained staff. In general, it is recommended that foreigners living in Papua New Guinea have private health insurance to ensure access to quality healthcare," remarked another expat in Papua New Guinea.
