What are medical services in Atyrau like?

Answer this Question

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

"Medical services in Atyrau, are a mix of public and private healthcare facilities. The public healthcare system is funded by the government and provides basic medical services to the residents. However, the quality of care in public hospitals and clinics may not be up to international standards, with limited resources, outdated equipment, and a shortage of qualified medical professionals. Private healthcare facilities in Atyrau offer better quality medical services, with modern equipment and well-trained staff. Many expatriates and wealthier locals prefer to use private clinics and hospitals for their healthcare needs. Some of these private facilities have partnerships with international medical institutions, ensuring a higher standard of care. Pharmacies are widely available in Atyrau, with both prescription and over-the-counter medications accessible. However, it is recommended to bring a supply of any essential medications, as some specific drugs may not be available or may be of lower quality. In case of medical emergencies, it is advisable to seek treatment at a private hospital or clinic, as they are more likely to have English-speaking staff and provide a higher standard of care. It is also recommended to have comprehensive medical insurance that covers medical evacuation, as more complex treatments may require travel to another city or country with better healthcare facilities," said a member in Atyrau, Kazakhstan.
