As a foreigner living in Namur, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?

"Yes, as a foreigner living in Namur, you will have access to public healthcare. Belgium has a high-quality healthcare system that is funded through social security contributions and taxation. The system is based on mandatory health insurance, which covers a large part of the cost of services provided by doctors, hospitals, and other medical professionals. In Belgium, healthcare is not free, but it is heavily subsidized by the government. You will need to pay a portion of the cost of any medical treatment or prescription medication you receive, but the majority of the cost will be covered by your health insurance. The quality of healthcare in Belgium is generally very high. The country has a large number of well-trained doctors and modern medical facilities. Most doctors and medical staff speak English, in addition to French and Dutch, which are the country's official languages. In order to access the public healthcare system in Belgium, you will need to register with a health insurance fund, known as a 'mutuelle' or 'ziekenfonds'. Once you have registered, you will receive a health insurance card, which you will need to present whenever you visit a doctor or hospital. In addition to public healthcare, there are also private healthcare options available in Belgium. However, these can be quite expensive, so most people choose to use the public system. Overall, as a foreigner living in Namur, you should find that you have good access to high-quality healthcare. However, it's important to make sure you understand how the system works and what you need to do to access healthcare services," remarked another expat in Namur, Belgium.
