Healthcare in Naypyidaw

What to expect if you need medical care

Healthcare infrastructure in Naypyidaw is limited, with few facilities meeting international standards. In a serious medical emergency, evacuation to a neighboring country may be necessary, and medical evacuation costs can exceed $50,000 depending on distance. Even basic medical supplies may be scarce. Hospitals often require upfront payment or proof of insurance before providing treatment. Carry a basic first aid kit, and bring more prescription medications than you need as replacements may not be available locally.

What Your Policy Should Cover

Country-specific considerations for Naypyidaw

Your Naypyidaw policy should cover the region's specific risks. Trekking at high altitude needs explicit coverage, including altitude sickness treatment and helicopter evacuation from remote areas. Road conditions are variable and accidents common, so confirm overland travel is covered. Ensure tropical and waterborne disease treatment is covered. Medical facilities in rural areas are very basic.

How Much Coverage Do You Need?

Our recommendation based on Naypyidaw's healthcare costs

The recommended $100,000 coverage accounts for limited local healthcare and potential evacuation needs. Hospital costs are relatively low but quality is inconsistent. Medical evacuation to a major regional center or home country can cost $20,000 to $60,000. Helicopter rescue from mountain areas is expensive and not always available.

Making a Claim in Naypyidaw

Tips for smooth claims processing

Documentation Required: Medical reports, receipts, proof of travel, police report if applicable for theft/accidents
  • Keep all medical reports and receipts (recibos) from Spanish healthcare providers, as these are essential for claims processing—documentation requirements are straightforward in Naypyidaw
  • If you experience theft or accidents requiring police involvement, obtain a 'denuncia' (police report) immediately, as insurers commonly request this documentation
  • Save proof of your travel dates, including boarding passes and accommodation confirmations, to support your claim timeline
  • Keep all receipts and get English-language medical reports where possible. Documentation standards vary, so photograph all paperwork and ask for stamped copies
  • Claims processing in Naypyidaw is generally easy, but submit documentation promptly while details are fresh and all receipts are organized
