"Healthcare services in Eindhoven are of high quality and are easily accessible to all residents. The city has several well-equipped hospitals and clinics that offer a wide range of medical services. The healthcare system is based on a model of compulsory health insurance, where everyone is required to have at least a basic health insurance policy. This insurance covers a broad range of services, including general practitioner visits, hospital care, and prescription medications. The healthcare professionals in Eindhoven are highly trained and many of them speak English, making it easier for expats to communicate their health concerns. The city also has a number of specialists and medical facilities that cater to specific health needs, such as mental health services, maternity care, and elderly care. Pharmacies in Eindhoven are well-stocked and can provide prescription and over-the-counter medications. They also offer advice on minor health issues. In case of emergencies, there are services available round the clock. Preventive care is a key focus of the Dutch healthcare system. Regular check-ups are encouraged and vaccinations are provided as part of the healthcare package. Overall, Eindhoven offers a comprehensive and efficient healthcare system that ensures the well-being of its residents," explained one expat living in Eindhoven, The Netherlands.
