"Medical facilities and medical care in Laos are generally of a lower standard than in many other countries. The availability of medical services is limited, particularly in rural areas, and the quality of care is often inadequate. The country has a shortage of qualified medical personnel, and the equipment and medicines available are often outdated or of poor quality. Despite these challenges, the government is making efforts to improve the quality of medical care in the country, including increasing access to healthcare and investing in medical infrastructure," explained one expat living in Laos.
