Are healthcare and health insurance expensive in Botswana?
When we asked expats in Botswana if healthcare and health insurance are expensive in Botswana, they wrote...
"Healthcare and health insurance in Botswana can be expensive, especially for those who are not covered by the government's health insurance scheme. Private health insurance is available, but it can be costly and may not cover all medical expenses. The cost of medical care in Botswana is generally higher than in other countries in the region, and the quality of care can vary significantly. Additionally, access to healthcare can be limited in rural areas, making it difficult for people to receive the care they need," commented one expat who made the move to Botswana.
