Are healthcare and health insurance expensive in Arusha?

"Healthcare and health insurance in Arusha, can be considered expensive for the average citizen, especially when it comes to private healthcare facilities and comprehensive insurance plans. The public healthcare system is often overcrowded and under-resourced, leading many people to seek private healthcare, which comes at a higher cost. Health insurance is not mandatory in Tanzania, and many people cannot afford it, leaving them to pay for medical expenses out-of-pocket. The cost of healthcare and health insurance can be a significant financial burden for individuals and families in Arusha, particularly for those with low incomes or facing serious health issues," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Arusha, Tanzania.
