Treatment in Suriname

The country boasts a range of medical facilities, from well-equipped hospitals in urban centers to health centers in more remote areas.


Healthcare professionals in Suriname are trained to provide comprehensive care, and the system offers services covering preventive measures, diagnosis, treatment, and surgery. In addition, traditional medicine continues to be a part of the healthcare system, promoting a holistic approach to well-being.


For foreigners, it extends its medical services with open arms. Expats can access medical care and services that often require health insurance. 


Language barriers are usually not an issue, as Dutch and English are commonly spoken, allowing for effective communication between healthcare providers and patients.


Although the healthcare system combines modern practices and cultural sensitivities, travelers and expats should be informed about available medical facilities, insurance coverage, and any medical warnings specific to the region. Rest assured, Suriname's commitment to healthcare underscores its dedication to the well-being of both residents and visitors alike.
