As a foreigner living in Kuwait City, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Kuwait City if they have access to public healthcare in Kuwait City. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"As a foreigner living in Kuwait City, you will have access to public healthcare, but it may not be free of charge. Public healthcare in Kuwait is generally of good quality, with well-equipped hospitals and qualified medical professionals. However, the system can be crowded, and waiting times for appointments and treatments may be long. Many expats and foreigners choose to use private healthcare facilities, which offer a higher standard of care and shorter waiting times but can be more expensive. It is recommended to have comprehensive health insurance to cover the costs of private healthcare," said a member in Kuwait City, Kuwait.
