As a foreigner living in Kenya, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Kenya if they have access to public healthcare in Kenya. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"Yes, foreigners living in Kenya have access to public healthcare. The quality of care varies depending on the facility, but generally the public healthcare system is underfunded and understaffed, leading to long wait times and limited resources. However, there are some public hospitals and clinics that provide good quality care. Additionally, there are private healthcare facilities that offer more comprehensive services," remarked another expat in Kenya.
