What are healthcare services like in Ethiopia?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Ethiopia, they replied:
"Healthcare services in Ethiopia are provided by both public and private institutions. The public healthcare system is largely funded by the government and is the primary source of healthcare for the majority of the population. The quality of public healthcare varies greatly, with some areas having better access to resources and better trained staff than others. Foreign residents do have access to the public healthcare system, although the quality of care may not be as high as in other countries. Expats in Ethiopia typically use the private healthcare system, which is more expensive but offers higher quality care," said a member in Ethiopia.
