What are medical services in Dar es Salaam like?

Answer this Question

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

"Medical services in Dar es Salaam, are a mix of public and private healthcare facilities. The city has several hospitals, clinics, and dispensaries, but the quality of care can vary significantly. Public hospitals are often overcrowded and under-resourced, with long waiting times and limited access to specialized care. Private hospitals and clinics generally offer better quality care, but they can be expensive and may not accept international health insurance. Pharmacies are widely available in Dar es Salaam, but the availability of medications can be limited, and counterfeit drugs are a concern. It is advisable for visitors to bring their own supply of prescription medications and a doctor's letter explaining the need for the medication. Emergency medical services are available, but response times can be slow, and ambulance services may not be equipped to handle all types of emergencies. In case of a serious medical emergency, it may be necessary to seek medical evacuation to a country with more advanced healthcare facilities. Overall, while basic medical services are available in Dar es Salaam, the quality of care can be inconsistent, and it is important for visitors to take necessary precautions and be prepared for potential healthcare challenges," said another in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
