What are medical services in Cape Town like?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Cape Town, they replied...

"Medical services in Cape Town, are a mix of both public and private healthcare facilities. The public healthcare system is accessible to all citizens, but it can be overcrowded and under-resourced, leading to long waiting times and limited availability of specialized treatments. On the other hand, private healthcare facilities offer high-quality medical services, with well-trained staff and modern equipment. However, these private facilities can be expensive and are mostly accessible to those with medical insurance or the ability to pay out-of-pocket. Overall, Cape Town has a range of medical services available, but the quality and accessibility can vary greatly depending on one's financial means and location within the city," explained one expat living in Cape Town, South Africa.
