How are healthcare services in Moshi?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Moshi, they replied...
"Moshi, offers a range of healthcare services to cater to the needs of its residents and visitors. The town has several public and private hospitals, clinics, and dispensaries that provide primary healthcare services, including general consultations, maternal and child health services, and treatment for common illnesses and injuries. Some of these facilities are equipped with basic diagnostic and laboratory services. In addition to the primary healthcare facilities, Moshi is home to the Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre (KCMC), a well-known referral hospital in the region. KCMC offers specialized medical services, including surgery, radiology, and intensive care, and serves as a teaching hospital for medical students and healthcare professionals. Moshi also has a number of pharmacies and drug stores where patients can access prescription and over-the-counter medications. However, the availability of certain medications may be limited, and it is advisable for visitors to bring their own supply of essential medications. While healthcare services in Moshi are generally affordable, especially in public facilities, the quality of care may vary, and patients may experience long waiting times due to limited resources and staff. It is also worth noting that advanced medical care and specialized treatments may not be readily available in Moshi, and patients with complex medical conditions may need to travel to larger cities or even abroad for treatment. Overall, healthcare services in Moshi, Tanzania, are accessible and cater to the basic medical needs of the population, but there is room for improvement in terms of quality and availability of specialized care," said another expat in Moshi, Tanzania.
