How are healthcare services in Congo?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Congo, they replied...
"Healthcare services in Congo are limited and the quality of care is generally poor. The public healthcare system is largely underfunded and understaffed, and is unable to meet the needs of the population. The majority of healthcare services are provided by private providers, which are often expensive and out of reach for many Congolese citizens. Foreign residents have limited access to the public healthcare system, and most expats in Congo rely on private healthcare providers. Expats may be able to access some public healthcare services, such as vaccinations, but they are generally not eligible for the same level of care as Congolese citizens," explained one expat living in Congo.
