Are healthcare and health insurance expensive in Taipei?
When we asked expats in Taipei if healthcare and health insurance are expensive in Taipei, they wrote...
"Healthcare and health insurance in Taipei, are generally considered affordable compared to many other countries. Taiwan has a comprehensive National Health Insurance (NHI) system, which covers a wide range of medical services for its citizens and residents. The NHI system is funded through premiums paid by the government, employers, and individuals, making healthcare costs relatively low for the general population. Additionally, the quality of healthcare in Taipei is high, with well-equipped hospitals and skilled medical professionals. However, for expatriates or tourists without access to the NHI system, private health insurance and out-of-pocket medical expenses can be more costly. Overall, healthcare and health insurance in Taipei are relatively affordable and accessible for most people," said another in Taipei, Taiwan.
