"As a foreigner living in Praia da Pipa, you will have access to public healthcare through Brazil's Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde, or SUS). The public healthcare system in Brazil is free and available to everyone, including foreigners. However, it is important to note that public healthcare facilities can be crowded, and waiting times for non-emergency treatments can be long. Additionally, the quality of care may vary depending on the location and availability of resources. It is recommended that foreigners also consider obtaining private health insurance for more comprehensive and timely care," remarked another expat who made the move to Praia da Pipa, Brazil.
