From broken bones to broken appliances, x-rays are among the most common medical tests performed throughout the world. But, how much do they cost? And what’s involved? For example, if you break your arm in Namibia and need an x-ray to determine whether it’s broken or not, here’s what you can expect to pay and what you can expect when you go to the doctor. Here are some of the most important things you should know about this type of medical test and how much it costs around the world.

The cost of an X-ray in Namibia

Namibia has a high cost of living, but the cost of an X-ray can vary depending on where you are located. If you are visiting a hospital or clinic, the charge is typical $100-$200 USD. On the other hand, if you have a private appointment with your doctor, it will be more expensive and costs anywhere from $300-$400 USD. The average price for an X-ray is $250 USD.

What if I can’t afford an X-ray?

One of the first considerations when deciding if you can afford an X-ray is how much you make per month. If your monthly income is less than $2,000, then it is unlikely that you will be able to afford the cost of an x-ray. The average cost of a single MRI or CT scan is between $1,200-$2,400.
