We asked expats in India if they have access to public healthcare in India. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...

"Yes, as a foreigner living in India, you will have access to public healthcare. The quality of public healthcare in India varies from state to state, but generally it is of a good standard. The public healthcare system in India is largely funded by the government and provides free or low-cost medical services to citizens. In addition, there are a number of private hospitals and clinics that offer more advanced medical services at a higher cost," commented one expat who made the move to India.
