As a foreigner living in Laos, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Laos if they have access to public healthcare in Laos. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"Yes, foreigners living in Laos have access to public healthcare. The quality of care varies depending on the location, but generally the public healthcare system is adequate for basic medical needs. The public healthcare system is largely funded by the government and is free or low cost for citizens and foreigners alike. However, it is important to note that the public healthcare system may not be able to provide the same level of care as private healthcare facilities. Additionally, some medications and treatments may not be available in the public healthcare system," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Laos.
