Medical care is top notch, some of the best in the world, as long as you're paying for it. - Jun 2022
This is a medical evacuation destination, as medical care is excellent. Many expat women have babies locally, people have minor or emergency surgery, get follow-up care, etc. The only health concern is some altitude (about 5-6000 ft) and very dry air. - Apr 2017
Good health care, but do your hospital research before hand. - Sep 2016
HIV/AIDS is a big deal here, but w/responsible behavior it should not impact your life. Private medical care is good and SA is used as a medical evacuation site for the rest of Africa. - Aug 2011
