Are healthcare and health insurance expensive in Johannesburg?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats in Johannesburg if healthcare and health insurance are expensive in Johannesburg, they wrote...

"Healthcare and health insurance in Johannesburg, can be considered expensive, particularly for those without adequate insurance coverage. The cost of healthcare varies depending on whether one is using public or private facilities. Public healthcare is generally more affordable but often suffers from long waiting times, limited resources, and overcrowding. On the other hand, private healthcare offers better quality services and shorter waiting times but comes at a significantly higher cost. Health insurance is essential for accessing private healthcare, but the premiums can be quite high, making it unaffordable for many residents. Additionally, out-of-pocket expenses for medical treatments and medications can also be substantial, further contributing to the overall expense of healthcare in Johannesburg," said a member in Johannesburg, South Africa.
