A Balkan country in Eastern Europe, it’s sandwiched between Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Albania, and Croatia.
Most people haven’t heard of Montenegro, and that’s OK. It’s a tiny country of about 5,300 square miles (13,800 square kms), making it about the size of Connecticut. It’s also tiny in terms of population, with about 620,000 people.
Since Montenegro is a new country, certain public services are still developing. This is unfortunately the case with health care, as it falls behind European standards.
The public health care system is inadequately funded, resulting in poor quality of care, long wait times, and a lack of trained professionals.
Expats should invest in quality international health care insurance. This will guarantee access to the high-quality private medical clinics in Montenegro, where doctors speak English and the facilities are modern.
