As a foreigner living in Yemen, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Yemen if they have access to public healthcare in Yemen. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"As a foreigner living in Yemen, you may have access to public healthcare, depending on the type of visa you have. Generally, public healthcare in Yemen is of a lower quality than in other countries, with limited access to medical supplies and equipment. Additionally, the healthcare system is often underfunded and understaffed, leading to long wait times and overcrowded facilities. Despite these challenges, the public healthcare system in Yemen is still able to provide basic medical care to those in need," explained one expat living in Yemen.
