Are healthcare and health insurance expensive in Somalia?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats in Somalia if healthcare and health insurance are expensive in Somalia, they wrote...

"Healthcare and health insurance in Somalia are generally quite expensive. Many people in Somalia are unable to afford the cost of healthcare and health insurance, and as a result, they are unable to access the necessary medical care. The cost of healthcare and health insurance is further exacerbated by the lack of infrastructure and resources in the country, which makes it difficult for people to access quality healthcare. Additionally, the lack of a functioning government in Somalia has led to a lack of regulation and oversight of the healthcare system, which has resulted in higher costs for healthcare and health insurance," wrote a member who made the move to Somalia.
