What are healthcare services like in Coimbra?

Answer this Question

We asked retirees if they have access to good medical care in Coimbra. They wrote...

"Healthcare services in Coimbra are generally of high quality, with a mix of public and private providers. The city is home to several hospitals, including the University Hospital of Coimbra, which is one of the largest and most well-respected medical facilities in the country. Primary care is typically provided by general practitioners, with specialists available for referral as needed. Pharmacies are widely available for prescription and over-the-counter medications. Portugal's national health service covers most medical costs for residents, although private insurance is also common. Dental care, optometry, and other ancillary services are also readily available. Despite occasional complaints about wait times for non-emergency services, most residents and visitors report satisfaction with the healthcare services in Coimbra," remarked another expat in Coimbra, Portugal.
