As a foreigner living in Beijing, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Beijing if they have access to public healthcare in Beijing. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"Yes, foreigners living in Beijing have access to public healthcare. The public healthcare system in Beijing is comprehensive and provides a wide range of services, including general medical care, specialist care, and emergency services. The quality of care is generally good, and the cost of services is relatively low compared to other countries. However, it is important to note that the language barrier can be an issue, as most medical staff do not speak English. Additionally, the availability of certain medications and treatments may be limited," remarked another expat in Beijing, China.
