As a foreigner living in Bern, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Bern if they have access to public healthcare in Bern. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"Yes, as a foreigner living in Bern, you will have access to public healthcare. Switzerland has a mandatory health insurance policy, which means that everyone living in the country, including foreigners, must have health insurance. The Swiss healthcare system is known for its high quality of care, with excellent doctors and medical facilities. However, it is also known for being quite expensive compared to other countries. The system is decentralized, meaning that the 26 cantons in the country have a significant amount of control over their own healthcare policies. This can lead to some variation in the quality and cost of care between different regions. Despite the high costs, many people find that the quality of care they receive is worth the price. The system is also very comprehensive, covering a wide range of medical services," remarked another expat in Bern, Switzerland.
