What are medical services in Kiribati like?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Kiribati, they replied...
"Kiribati has a limited number of medical services available. The main hospital is located in the capital city of South Tarawa, and there are a few smaller health centers located on other islands. The medical services available include basic primary care, emergency care, and some specialized services such as obstetrics and gynecology. However, due to limited resources, the quality of care is not always up to the standards of other countries. Additionally, there is a shortage of medical personnel, and many of the medical staff are not adequately trained. As a result, access to medical care can be difficult for many people in Kiribati," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Kiribati.
