Are healthcare and health insurance expensive in Tallinn?

Answer this Question

When we asked expats in Tallinn if healthcare and health insurance are expensive in Tallinn, they wrote...

"Healthcare and health insurance in Tallinn, can be considered relatively affordable compared to many other countries. Estonia has a well-developed public healthcare system, which is funded through a social health insurance scheme. Residents who are employed or registered as unemployed contribute to this system through their social tax, which grants them access to a range of medical services at minimal or no cost. However, waiting times for certain treatments can be long in the public system, leading some people to opt for private healthcare, which can be more expensive. Private health insurance is also available, offering additional coverage and faster access to specialists, but it comes at an extra cost. Overall, healthcare and health insurance in Tallinn are generally accessible and reasonably priced, but private options can be more expensive," remarked another expat in Tallinn, Estonia.
