Hi,

how does the healthcare system work in French Polynesia ? Is it efficient ?

What are the main differences between public and private sectors?

Is it recommended to purchase private health insurance in French Polynesia?

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience !

the healthcare system is free for the local resident if you are a Expart You Should to pay a subscription per month about 20% of your salary. to
a little pressure
all included pension security and health (hospitalization and refund a portion of medical expenses)

Isn't 20% a little high. I am moving to Raiatea next year and am taking my blue cross with me. I have already confirmed that blue cross will now pay for procedures in French Polynesia although i may have to pay first and seek reimbursment

Permanet Residents of France can move to Tahiti. They are covered by French medical system. No worries.

Health Care is not free for locals or residents, it is a monthly deduction % based on your income.
