As a foreigner living in Abidjan, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Abidjan if they have access to public healthcare in Abidjan. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"As a foreigner living in Abidjan, you will have access to public healthcare. However, the public healthcare system in Ivory Coast is not as well-developed as in some other countries. The facilities may be limited, and the quality of care can vary. It is common for expatriates and wealthier locals to seek private healthcare, which offers better quality services and facilities. It is recommended to have comprehensive health insurance to cover any medical expenses, including potential medical evacuation if necessary," explained one expat living in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.
