A recent study by International Living ranked Portugal as the top destination for expats seeking affordable and high-quality health care. The study compared health care costs, revealing that visits without insurance average between $65 to $145, but with insurance, costs plummet to around $20. The publication emphasized Portugal's dual public and private healthcare access, which appeals to many expats looking for benefits such as English-speaking doctors and reduced wait times through private insurance. This ranking serves as a valuable resource for those considering relocation.
"One of the biggest draws to life in Portugal is the quality and affordability of its health care system... Most expats... choose private insurance because it provides access to top-notch care while avoiding the longer wait times that can sometimes occur in the public system."
"International Living... determined its rankings by calculating the cost of various medical procedures, along with comparing countries on their 'consistent and affordable medical care across both public and private sectors.'"
