Are healthcare and health insurance expensive in Zambia?
When we asked expats in Zambia if healthcare and health insurance are expensive in Zambia, they wrote...
"Healthcare and health insurance in Zambia can be expensive, especially for those who are not covered by a government-sponsored health insurance plan. Private health insurance plans are available, but they can be costly and may not cover all medical expenses. Additionally, many healthcare facilities in Zambia are not well-equipped and may not have the necessary resources to provide quality care. As a result, many people in Zambia are unable to access the healthcare they need due to the high cost," said another in Zambia.
