As a foreigner living in New Providence, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in New Providence if they have access to public healthcare in New Providence. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"As a foreigner living in New Providence, you will have access to public healthcare, but it is important to note that the quality and availability of services may not be on par with what you are used to in your home country. The public healthcare system in the Bahamas is known to have long waiting times, limited resources, and a shortage of specialized medical professionals. Many residents, including expats, often choose to seek private healthcare or travel to the United States for more advanced medical treatments. It is highly recommended that you obtain comprehensive health insurance to cover any medical expenses you may incur while living in New Providence," remarked another expat who made the move to New Providence, Bahamas.
