The people of Brunei enjoy free medical health care provided via government hospitals, health centres and clinics throughout the country.

All medical expenses incurred by Brunei citizens are borne by the Government. HIV treatment, care and support, including life adjustment counseling, are provided free of charge to Brunei citizens and permanent residents, regardless of age, gender or race. However, access to health for its large population of migrants and overseas workers depends on their work contracts and permits.

On-arrival health screenings and mandatory periodic health checks that include HIV testing are also part of national HIV control procedures. Migrant workers tested HIV positive in Brunei are repatriated to their origin country, and do not benefit from referral and counseling services in Brunei. In many instances, migrant workers' countries of origin are not equipped with comprehensive HIV prevention, care, treatment, VCT and support services for returning migrant workers.
