How are healthcare services in Cape Town?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Cape Town, they replied...

"Cape Town, offers a diverse range of healthcare services to cater to the needs of its residents and visitors. The city is home to both public and private healthcare facilities, ensuring that individuals have access to medical care regardless of their financial status. Public hospitals and clinics provide essential healthcare services at low or no cost, while private hospitals and medical centers offer more specialized and advanced treatments. The healthcare system in Cape Town is known for its skilled and experienced medical professionals, many of whom have received international training. These professionals work in various fields, including general medicine, surgery, dentistry, and mental health services. Additionally, the city has several specialized facilities that focus on areas such as oncology, cardiology, and orthopedics. Cape Town also has a strong focus on preventative healthcare, with numerous clinics and organizations offering services such as vaccinations, health screenings, and family planning. The city's healthcare system is supported by a network of pharmacies, which provide prescription medications and over-the-counter remedies. Emergency medical services in Cape Town are well-equipped and responsive, with ambulances and paramedics available to attend to urgent medical situations. The city also has a number of medical helplines and emergency numbers that residents and visitors can call for assistance in case of a medical emergency. Overall, Cape Town's healthcare services are comprehensive and accessible, ensuring that individuals in the city have access to quality medical care when they need it," remarked another expat who made the move to Cape Town, South Africa.

"I have insurance that covers hospital stays and some surgery. I also pay for "gap insurance", which pays most all of the shortfall in coverage for surgery. Result is that almost 100% of the costs were paid for the five major surgeries that we have had in the post 10 years," explained one expat living in Cape Town, South Africa.
