What are medical services in Johannesburg like?

Answer this Question

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

"Medical services in Johannesburg, are a mix of both public and private healthcare facilities. The public healthcare system is often overcrowded and under-resourced, leading to long waiting times and limited availability of specialized treatments. On the other hand, the private healthcare sector offers high-quality medical services, with well-equipped hospitals and clinics staffed by skilled professionals. However, these private facilities can be expensive, and access to them is often limited to those with medical insurance or the ability to pay out-of-pocket. Overall, Johannesburg has a range of medical services available, but the quality and accessibility of these services can vary greatly depending on one's financial means," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Johannesburg, South Africa.
