"Yes, as a foreigner living in Leiden, you will have access to public healthcare. The healthcare system in the Netherlands is highly rated and is considered to be one of the best in the world. The public healthcare system is funded by taxes and is available to all residents, regardless of nationality. The healthcare system is comprehensive and includes general practitioners, specialists, hospitals, and pharmacies. The quality of care is excellent and the cost is relatively low compared to other countries," wrote a member who made the move to Leiden, The Netherlands.
