As a foreigner living in Austria, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Austria if they have access to public healthcare in Austria. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"Yes, as a foreigner living in Austria, you will have access to public healthcare. The public healthcare system in Austria is comprehensive and provides a wide range of services, including preventive care, primary care, specialist care, hospital care, and long-term care. The quality of care is generally high, and the cost of services is usually covered by the public health insurance system. The system is also well-integrated, meaning that it is easy to access care from different providers," said another in Austria.
