Public system financing

There are three main publicly financed health insurance types with local-area risk pooling: urban employer-based (mainly payroll taxes, for formally employed urban residents), urban resident basic (mainly government-funded, for urban nonemployed residents), and rural cooperative medical scheme (government-funded, for rural residents)

Private insurance role

Complementary to cover cost-sharing and gaps, as well as better health care quality and/or higher reimbursements. No data on coverage, but growth has been rapid.

Primary care

Private/public mix (private village doctors and clinics; public township and community hospitals providing general practitioner services)

Tips for expats

Lorem Upgrade your account with the standars & premium plan

Standard of care :

– In the public system, standards of care and hygiene may not be to the quality you are used to

– Use the Medihoo search to find health care providers near you

Medication  :

– Making a list of the generic names of your medication for use at the doctor or the pharmacy can save time and misunderstanding

Please note that all information contained in this overview is subject to change

Food  :

– Always drink bottled water to save any stomach upsets…or worse

Advance payments  :

– Advanced payments for treatments is often required at medical clinics, requiring a later claim for reimbursement from your insurance company

– For high cost treatment it might make sense asking your insurance company whether they can issue a guarantee of payment
