What are medical services in Bali like?

Answer this Question

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

"Medical services in Bali, are a mix of public and private healthcare facilities. The public healthcare system is generally considered to be of lower quality, with limited resources, outdated equipment, and long waiting times. Private hospitals and clinics, on the other hand, offer better quality care, modern facilities, and English-speaking staff. However, private healthcare can be expensive, and it is recommended for visitors to have comprehensive travel insurance to cover medical expenses. In case of emergencies, patients may need to be evacuated to Singapore or Australia for more advanced treatment, as Bali's medical infrastructure may not be equipped to handle complex cases. Pharmacies are widely available, but it is essential to ensure that medications are genuine and not counterfeit. Overall, while basic medical services are accessible in Bali, it is crucial for visitors to take necessary precautions and be prepared for potential limitations in the healthcare system," remarked another expat in Bali, Indonesia.
