As a foreigner living in Brussels, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?

Answer this Question

We asked expats in Brussels if they have access to public healthcare in Brussels. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...

"As a foreigner living in Brussels, you will have access to public healthcare, provided you have registered with the local authorities and have valid health insurance. The Belgian healthcare system is known for its high-quality care, well-equipped facilities, and well-trained medical professionals. Public healthcare in Belgium is funded through a combination of social security contributions and taxes, which ensures that medical services are accessible and affordable for residents. Once you are registered and insured, you can choose your preferred general practitioner, specialist, or hospital. It is important to note that you may need to pay for medical services upfront and then seek reimbursement from your insurance provider. Overall, the public healthcare system in Brussels is efficient and reliable, offering a wide range of services to meet your healthcare needs," explained one expat living in Brussels, Belgium.
