As a foreigner living in Paris, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Paris if they have access to public healthcare in Paris. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"Yes, as a foreigner living in Paris, you will have access to public healthcare. The public healthcare system in France is known for its high quality and is available to all residents, regardless of nationality. It is funded by taxes and social security contributions, and is free at the point of use. The system is comprehensive, covering a wide range of services, including preventive care, hospital care, and specialist care. The system is also well-organized, with a network of hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities throughout the country," wrote a member who made the move to Paris, France.
