"In Austria, healthcare is provided by a universal, publicly-funded service. Comprehensive health insurance is managed through the country's statutory health insurance system, which is provided by a variety of social insurance funds. All legal residents of Austria are entitled to receive healthcare from a general practitioner and the national health-care system covers the majority of medical costs. Austria has one of the most advanced healthcare systems in Europe, and its citizens have access to a range of services, including preventative care, specialist consultations, diagnostics and treatment, and long-term care. The system also covers mental health services, drug and alcohol rehabilitation, and physiotherapy," remarked another expat who made the move to Austria.
