Are healthcare and health insurance expensive in Dar es Salaam?

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

"Healthcare and health insurance in Dar es Salaam, can be considered expensive, particularly for the average citizen. The cost of healthcare services and insurance largely depends on the type of facility and coverage one chooses. Public hospitals and clinics tend to be more affordable but may have limited resources and longer waiting times. On the other hand, private hospitals and clinics offer better quality care and shorter waiting times but at a higher cost. Health insurance is not mandatory in Tanzania, and many people opt to pay for healthcare services out-of-pocket. However, those who choose to purchase health insurance may find it costly, especially for comprehensive coverage plans. Additionally, expatriates and tourists are often advised to obtain international health insurance, which can also be quite expensive. Overall, the cost of healthcare and health insurance in Dar es Salaam can be a significant financial burden for many residents," said another in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
