How are healthcare services in Greece?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Greece, they replied...
"Greece offers a wide range of healthcare services, including primary care, specialist care, hospital care, and preventive care. The public healthcare system in Greece is funded by the government and is available to all citizens and legal residents. The quality of public healthcare in Greece is generally good, with modern facilities and well-trained staff. Foreign residents in Greece are eligible to use the public healthcare system, although they may need to pay a fee for certain services. Expats in Greece can use the public healthcare system by registering with the local health center and obtaining a Greek health insurance card. This card allows them to access the public healthcare system and receive the same level of care as Greek citizens," wrote a member who made the move to Greece.
