Are healthcare and health insurance expensive in Colombo?
When we asked expats in Colombo if healthcare and health insurance are expensive in Colombo, they wrote...
"Healthcare and health insurance in Colombo, can be considered relatively affordable compared to many Western countries. The public healthcare system provides free services to citizens, but it may have long waiting times and limited resources. Private healthcare facilities offer better quality care and shorter waiting times, but they come at a higher cost. Health insurance is available through various providers, with a range of plans and premiums to suit different budgets. However, the cost of healthcare and health insurance may still be a financial burden for some individuals and families in Colombo," commented one expat who made the move to Colombo, Sri Lanka.
