How are healthcare services in Somalia?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Somalia, they replied...
"Healthcare services in Somalia are limited and vary greatly in quality. The public healthcare system is largely inadequate and underfunded, with limited access to basic medical supplies and equipment. The quality of public healthcare is generally poor, with limited access to specialized care and treatments. Foreign residents do not have access to the public healthcare system, and must rely on private healthcare providers. Expats in Somalia typically use private healthcare providers, as the public healthcare system is not equipped to meet their needs," explained one expat living in Somalia.
