15 Expats Talk about Health Insurance and Healthcare in Botswana

By Joshua Wood, LPC

Last updated on Jan 02, 2024

Summary: The quality of medical care in Botswana is generally considered to be good, although it is not on par with the medical care available in the United States. Emergency services are available in Botswana, and ambulances can be called by dialing the emergency number 997. The response time for ambulances is usually quite fast, and the medical staff are well-trained and experienced.

How are healthcare services Botswana?

When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Botswana, they replied:

"Botswana has a public healthcare system that provides a range of services, including primary care, hospital care, and specialist services. The quality of public healthcare in Botswana is generally good, with a focus on preventive care and health promotion. Foreign residents in Botswana have access to the public healthcare system, although they may need to pay for some services. Expats in Botswana can use the public healthcare system, but they may need to pay for some services. Expats may also choose to use private healthcare services, which are available in Botswana," wrote an expat living in Botswana.
