Zambia is a developing country that is a common destination for tourists and expatriates from all over the world. Zambia’s capital city is Lusaka and the country became independent in 1964 from the UK. In 2010, Zambia was named by the World Bank as one of the fastest economically reformed countries in the world. The country has been making significant improvements to the economy and social systems along with increasing the standard of living and reducing corruption. The country has many attractions, including Victoria Falls, Zambezi river and safaris.
Healthcare in Zambia
While life expectancy in Zambia has improved in the past few decades, Zambia is still a very poor country with a high prevalence of HIV/AIDS and other communicable diseases. The country has full access for local nationals in Zambia, but most of the medical facilities are quite basic from a western perspective. Most patients who have financial resources will travel to South Africa for medical treatment.
There are pretty good private medical facilities in Zambia in the major expat centers, but most expatriates will want to seek medical treatment for serious injuries or illnesses outside of Zambia. This means that medical evacuation coverage is essential if you plan to reside or travel to Zambia. Medical costs for expatriates in Zambia will be higher than for local nationals. Expat Financial can source excellent healthcare coverage for both expatriates and local nationals in Zambia. To know about healthcare system in Zambia check out our healthcare region page.
