As a foreigner living in Afghanistan, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Afghanistan if they have access to public healthcare in Afghanistan. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"As a foreigner living in Afghanistan, you may have access to public healthcare, depending on the type of visa you have. Generally, public healthcare in Afghanistan is limited and of poor quality. Facilities are often overcrowded and understaffed, and medical supplies are often scarce. Additionally, many medical professionals lack the necessary training and experience to provide adequate care. As a result, many foreigners opt to use private healthcare services, which are more expensive but often of higher quality," commented one expat who made the move to Afghanistan.
