Summary: Dive into healthcare resources for expats and digital nomads in Leiden: identify leading healthcare providers, hospitals, and medical centers for optimal care.

The healthcare system in Leiden is a combination of public and private healthcare. The public healthcare system is called Zorgverzekeringswet (Zvw) and is used by both Dutch citizens and foreigners. People generally recommend using public hospitals in Leiden for serious medical emergencies and major surgery. Public hospitals in Leiden are well-equipped and offer quality care. Foreigners, including expats and digital nomads, are allowed to use the public healthcare system in Netherlands. However, many expats prefer to use private hospitals for serious medical emergencies and major surgery. Private hospitals in Leiden offer more personalized care and shorter wait times.
