HEALTHCARE IN PORTUGAL
The level & quality of healthcare has been a bit of a shock…in a good way!
It’s so comprehensive. To be fair, I would have just a little more than a little bit of anxiety visiting a doctor in the past because IF something was wrong, no matter how well you plan ahead, the costs can be scary.
My annual check-up in Portugal includes a clinical analysis with over 70 exams, abdominal imaging, cardiology exams, vision, hearing and dermatology exams. And the hospital I go to has an app where summarized readouts of everything appear within days, if not hours.
