As a foreigner living in Somalia, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Somalia if they have access to public healthcare in Somalia. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"As a foreigner living in Somalia, access to public healthcare is limited. The quality of healthcare available is generally poor, with limited access to medical supplies and equipment. Many hospitals and clinics lack basic medical supplies and are often overcrowded. In addition, there is a lack of trained medical personnel, and many medical professionals have left the country due to the ongoing conflict. As a result, access to quality healthcare is often difficult to find," remarked another expat who made the move to Somalia.
