What are medical services in Accra like?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Accra, they replied...
"Medical services in Accra, are a mix of public and private healthcare facilities, including hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies. The public healthcare system is often overcrowded and under-resourced, leading to long waiting times and limited availability of specialized treatments. Private healthcare facilities, on the other hand, offer better quality services and shorter waiting times but can be expensive for the average citizen. There is a growing number of well-trained medical professionals in the city, but access to advanced medical equipment and specialized care is still limited. Additionally, while basic healthcare services are available, patients with complex medical conditions may need to seek treatment abroad. Overall, medical services in Accra are improving, but there is still a significant gap between the quality of public and private healthcare," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Accra, Ghana.
