"Yes, foreigners living in Ivory Coast 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 all citizens and residents, and there are a number of public hospitals and clinics throughout the country. The public healthcare system is supplemented by a number of private healthcare providers, which offer more specialized services," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Ivory Coast.
