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

Answer this Question

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

"Yes, as a foreigner living in Alexandroupoli, you will have access to public healthcare. However, the quality and accessibility of healthcare can vary. The Greek healthcare system is a mix of public and private providers. Public healthcare is funded by social security contributions and taxes, and it is available to all residents of Greece, including foreigners. In general, the healthcare system in Greece is considered to be good, with a high standard of medical professionals and facilities. However, the public healthcare system has been under strain due to economic difficulties in the country, leading to long waiting times and a lack of resources in some areas. In terms of specific services, public hospitals provide a range of healthcare services, including emergency care, inpatient care, and some specialist services. Primary care is provided by a network of public health centers and private doctors. Pharmaceutical care is also part of the public healthcare system, with prescription medicines being heavily subsidized by the state. However, there can be shortages of certain medicines due to economic issues. Despite these challenges, many people in Greece, including foreigners, choose to use private healthcare services. Private healthcare in Greece is known for its high quality and efficiency, and many doctors and specialists who work in the public sector also have their own private practices. In conclusion, as a foreigner in Alexandroupoli, Greece, you will have access to public healthcare, but you may also want to consider private healthcare options," commented one expat who made the move to Alexandroupoli, Greece.
