Will I need to travel to see a specialist?

"Yes, there are a good number of medical specialists in Lyon. Depending on the type of specialized care needed, people can go to Hôtel-Dieu Hospital, Saint Joseph Hospital or Centre Hospitalier Lyon Sud for their medical needs. These hospitals are equipped to treat a variety of medical issues, including complex heart conditions, cancer and other life-threatening illnesses. For those seeking highly specialized care, they can be referred to The Centre de Recherche et de Traitement des Maladies Rares (CEFAR), a research and treatment centre that specializes in rare diseases," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Lyon, France.
