How are healthcare services in Yangon?

Answer this Question

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

"Healthcare services in Yangon, are a mix of public and private facilities, with the public sector being the primary provider of healthcare. The city is home to several public hospitals, including Yangon General Hospital, which is the largest and oldest in the country. These hospitals offer a range of services, from primary care to specialized treatments, but often face challenges such as overcrowding, limited resources, and outdated equipment. In recent years, the private healthcare sector in Yangon has grown, with several private hospitals and clinics emerging to cater to the needs of the population. These facilities often provide higher quality care and more advanced treatments, but at a higher cost. Some of the well-known private hospitals in the city include Pun Hlaing Siloam Hospital and Victoria Hospital. In addition to hospitals, there are numerous smaller clinics and pharmacies scattered throughout the city, providing basic healthcare services and medications. Traditional medicine is also widely practiced in Yangon, with many people seeking treatment from traditional healers and herbalists. Despite the growth of the private sector, access to quality healthcare remains a challenge for many residents of Yangon, particularly those with low incomes. The government has been working to improve the healthcare system, investing in infrastructure and training for healthcare professionals, but progress has been slow. As a result, many people in Yangon continue to face barriers to accessing the healthcare services they need," explained one expat living in Yangon, Myanmar.
