The level of medicine in Pakistan, Yemen, Afghanistan and Oman

Let's consider the level of medicine in countries using the example of Afghanistan. If you do not have health insurance in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen or Oman, you will be required to pay for the services provided to you at the hospital. Compared to other Asian countries, the price of medical services in Afghanistan is average. In Kabul, you will have to pay 15-20 dollars for a visit to the doctor, 20-40 dollars for an X-ray, 20 dollars for an ultrasound, and 40-60 dollars for an operation for a closed fracture.

Private clinics are equipped with more modern equipment, but the cost of services in them will be higher. Uninsured patients will have to pay about 50 dollars for a doctor's consultation. One day of treatment in a hospital can cost 800-2000 dollars, depending on the clinic. It is precisely because of the high cost of medical services that every tourist is recommended to purchase a travel policy before visiting the country.
