What are healthcare services like in Papua New Guinea?

When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Papua New Guinea, they replied:

"Healthcare services in Papua New Guinea are provided by both the public and private sectors. 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 services than others. Foreign residents have access to the public healthcare system, but the quality of care may not be as good as in their home countries. Expats in Papua New Guinea often use the public healthcare system, but they may also opt for private healthcare services if they can afford it. Private healthcare services are generally more expensive than public healthcare, but they may offer better quality care," said one member in Papua New Guinea.
