Hi,

how does the healthcare system works in Congo ? Is it efficient ?

What are the main differences between public and private sectors?

Is it recommended to purchase private health insurance in Congo?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience !

Hi Julien,

As it has already mentioned by isaura1..........one can better come here with health insurance....but there are private insurance companies i know which also covers health insurances........The country really lack in healthcare system but if somebody can come here with basic medicines like for fever,cough,cold,headache,vomiting............etc,will be useful for him/her...and also he will save some money because of high price medicines...........there are good clinics asmentioned by isauara1...............for an expat its better recomended to go for a private clinics like netcare or clinic guinin...............

Regars,
