"As a foreigner living in Cork, you will have access to public healthcare, provided you meet certain residency conditions. The Irish public healthcare system, known as the Health Service Executive (HSE), offers a range of services, including general practitioner (GP) visits, hospital care, and emergency services. The quality of healthcare in Ireland is generally good, with well-trained medical professionals and modern facilities. However, you may experience long waiting times for certain treatments or specialist appointments. It is also important to note that some services may require a co-payment or may not be fully covered by the public healthcare system. Therefore, it is advisable to consider obtaining private health insurance to supplement your access to healthcare services in Ireland," said another expat in Cork, Ireland.
