As a foreigner living in Vientiane, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?

Answer this Question

We asked expats in Vientiane if they have access to public healthcare in Vientiane. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...

"As a foreigner living in Vientiane, you will have access to public healthcare, but the quality and availability of services may not be up to the standards you are used to in your home country. Public hospitals and clinics in Laos often face challenges such as limited resources, outdated equipment, and a shortage of trained medical professionals. Additionally, language barriers can make communication with healthcare providers difficult. Many expats and foreigners living in Laos choose to seek medical care at private clinics or travel to neighboring countries like Thailand for more advanced treatments and procedures. It is recommended to have comprehensive health insurance to cover any medical expenses and potential medical evacuations," said a member in Vientiane, Laos.
