How are healthcare services in Bishkek?

Answer this Question

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

"Healthcare services in Bishkek, are a mix of public and private facilities, with the public sector being the primary provider of healthcare services. The city has several hospitals, clinics, and medical centers that offer a range of services, including general medicine, surgery, maternity care, and emergency services. However, the public healthcare system in Bishkek faces challenges such as outdated equipment, insufficient funding, and a lack of qualified medical professionals. In recent years, private healthcare facilities have emerged in Bishkek, offering higher quality services and modern equipment. These private clinics and hospitals cater to both locals and expatriates, providing services such as dental care, diagnostics, and specialized treatments. However, private healthcare services can be expensive, and not all residents can afford them. Pharmacies are widely available throughout Bishkek, with many operating 24 hours a day. They offer a range of over-the-counter and prescription medications, although the availability of specific medications may be limited. Foreigners visiting or living in Bishkek are advised to have comprehensive medical insurance, as the quality of healthcare services can vary greatly. In case of serious medical emergencies, it may be necessary to seek treatment in a neighboring country or be evacuated to a country with more advanced healthcare facilities," explained one expat living in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.
