As a foreigner living in Bulgaria, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Bulgaria if they have access to public healthcare in Bulgaria. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"Yes, as a foreigner living in Bulgaria, you will have access to public healthcare. The quality of care is generally good, with a wide range of services available. The healthcare system is based on a national health insurance scheme, which covers most medical expenses. The cost of healthcare is relatively low compared to other European countries, and the waiting times for appointments are usually short," remarked another expat in Bulgaria.
