What are medical services in Colombo like?

Answer this Question

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

"Medical services in Colombo, are generally of good quality, with a mix of public and private healthcare facilities available. The city has several well-equipped hospitals, including government-run and private institutions, offering a range of services from general care to specialized treatments. Private hospitals tend to have more advanced equipment and shorter waiting times, but they can be more expensive. Medical professionals in Colombo are typically well-trained, with many having received their education abroad. However, it is important to note that healthcare standards may vary between facilities, and some specialized treatments may not be available. It is recommended for visitors to have comprehensive travel insurance to cover any potential medical expenses," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Colombo, Sri Lanka.
