As a foreigner living in Tallinn, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Tallinn if they have access to public healthcare in Tallinn. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"As a foreigner living in Tallinn, you will have access to public healthcare if you are a legal resident and have valid health insurance. Estonia has a well-developed healthcare system, with a mix of public and private providers. Public healthcare services are generally of good quality, and most medical professionals speak English. However, waiting times for non-emergency treatments can be long, and some specialized services may not be available. It is recommended to have private health insurance to cover any additional costs and to access private healthcare facilities for faster service," remarked another expat who made the move to Tallinn, Estonia.
