Medical expenses are a lot cheaper than the US. We paid around 300 pula for a doctor visit. Meds are around 50 pula. Some of the hospital bills are subsidized by the govt. If you pay cash, you won't have to wait as long. The medical care is decent, but if you have specialized medical needs, aka MRI or CT scans, you'll probably need to go to Gabs or South Africa for more advanced medical care. We've had friends who have had surgery and delivered babies in Gabs with no trouble. Oh, and make sure you get your shots before you guys head over.
