"As a foreigner living in Brnoublic, you will have access to public healthcare, provided you are a legal resident and are either employed or studying in the country. The Czech Republic has a universal healthcare system, which is funded by taxes and is available to all residents. The quality of healthcare in the Czech Republic is generally high, with well-trained medical staff and modern facilities. However, it's important to note that while emergency care is provided free of charge, some services may require a co-payment. Also, there might be language barriers as not all medical staff may speak English fluently. Therefore, it is advisable for foreigners to also have a private health insurance to cover any additional costs and to ensure access to English-speaking doctors," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Brno, Czechia.
