I live in a third-world country, and we have public healthcare freely available for all

How's the quality of this public healthcare? How long does it take for an appointment or surgery?

It varies by state/city. In my state, basic care is ok: ER pretty much works, same weekend appointments for general practitioners, maybe more for specialists. I don't have direct experience whith surgery, but I had family members on cancer treatment, and the public health system was better in some cases than the private one.

Where do you live, if you don’t mind me asking?
