"Yes, as a foreigner living in Lithuania, you will have access to public healthcare. Lithuania has a universal healthcare system, which means that all citizens and legal residents are entitled to free or low-cost healthcare services. The quality of healthcare in Lithuania is generally good, with modern facilities and well-trained medical professionals. The public healthcare system is funded by the government and supplemented by private health insurance," said another expat in Lithuania.
