As a foreigner living in Bangalore, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Bangalore if they have access to public healthcare in Bangalore. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"Yes, as a foreigner living in Bangalore, you will have access to public healthcare. The quality of public healthcare in India varies from state to state, but in general, it is known to be of a lower standard than private healthcare. Public healthcare in Bangalore is generally considered to be of a better quality than in other parts of India, and is often used by locals as well as foreigners. However, it is important to note that public healthcare in India is often overcrowded and underfunded, so it is important to be prepared for long wait times and limited resources," wrote a member who made the move to Bangalore, India.
