As a foreigner living in Madagascar, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Madagascar if they have access to public healthcare in Madagascar. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"Yes, foreigners living in Madagascar have access to public healthcare. The quality of care varies depending on the region, but generally the public healthcare system is underfunded and understaffed. The facilities are often overcrowded and lack basic medical supplies. However, there are some private hospitals and clinics that offer better quality care," remarked another expat who made the move to Madagascar.
