What are medical services in Yangon like?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Yangon, they replied...
"Medical services in Yangon, are a mix of public and private healthcare facilities. Public hospitals are often overcrowded and under-resourced, with limited access to advanced medical equipment and specialized care. Private hospitals and clinics offer better quality care, but at a higher cost. Many expatriates and wealthier locals prefer to seek medical treatment at these private facilities. However, for complex medical conditions, patients may need to travel abroad for treatment due to the limited availability of specialized care in Yangon. Additionally, there may be language barriers, as not all medical staff are fluent in English. It is essential to have comprehensive health insurance when seeking medical care in Yangon," remarked another expat who made the move to Yangon, Myanmar.
