What are medical services in Nepal like?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Nepal, they replied...
"Medical services in Nepal are generally limited, with most of the population relying on traditional medicine and home remedies. The country has a few hospitals and clinics, but they are often overcrowded and lack the necessary resources and equipment. The government has made efforts to improve access to healthcare, but the quality of care remains low due to a lack of trained medical personnel and inadequate funding. In rural areas, access to medical services is even more limited, with many people having to travel long distances to receive treatment. Despite these challenges, the Nepalese government is working to improve access to healthcare and increase the quality of medical services," explained one expat living in Nepal.
