Portugal to see a doctor
Medical insurance
Portugal's public hospitals and health centers provide free medical services to Portuguese citizens, foreign nationals who have been granted legal residency or legal work permits (based on the principle of reciprocity). Foreign citizens visiting Portugal temporarily may use the services of public hospitals, but not free of charge.
Medical conditions
Medical conditions in Portugal are good, but the society is aging, and the supply and demand of public hospitals are in conflict with the long waiting times.
Common Diseases and Treatments
Portugal has a good health situation, with no widespread infectious diseases.
Special Tips
Seeing a doctor in Portugal without health insurance or social security can be quite expensive. It is recommended that Chinese citizens traveling to Portugal purchase a medical insurance policy for themselves before traveling.
Main hospitals and pharmacies
Portuguese hospitals are public and private. Public **** hospitals are large, well-equipped, and technically strong, and have a larger and more time-consuming population. Private hospitals less time-consuming treatment. There are community hospitals in all Portuguese communities, but they only provide simple medical services to the registered population in the community. Pharmacies are readily available, usually with a green cross on the outside. Medicines must be purchased in pharmacies and prescription medicines require a doctor's prescription. In some large cities, some pharmacies are open 24 hours a day. Medical and pharmaceutical prices are moderate.
