Living in Brazil – European Health Insurance
But which health care system is the best to choose when living in Brazil? We gladly help you to make the right decisions about everything concerning health insurance coverage for Germans or Europeans in Brazil!
When
it comes to health care, Brazil is a country of contrasts. In theory,
everybody has access to services financed by government. But in reality
the public health care system is in a desolate condition. Those who
can afford it opt for private health care. Despite efforts to improve
the public health care system, all hospitals are frequently poorly
equipped. Long waiting lists for surgeries and other services are
the norm. Also, most physicians in public hospitals do not speak
English, which is definitely a problem for patients who are ill and
need to explain where it hurts. Those who can afford it get private
treatment. About 75% of Brazilian hospitals are privately owned.
Unlike common hospitals, they have excellent equipment, personnel
and flexibility, especially in big cities like São Paulo and Rio
de Janeiro. Those who can afford it should definitely choose a private
health insurance.
As a foreigner you should think about the best health insurance for you before starting the journey. We also gladly assist those who are not happy with their current health insurance system.
