"Yes, as a foreigner living in Saudi Arabia, you will have access to public healthcare. The public healthcare system in Saudi Arabia is comprehensive and provides a wide range of services, including primary care, specialist care, and hospital care. The quality of care is generally good, and the cost of care is relatively low compared to other countries. The government also provides subsidies for certain treatments and medications, making them more affordable for those who need them," explained one expat living in Saudi Arabia.
