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

"As a foreigner living in Ljubljana, you will have access to public healthcare if you have a valid European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) or if you are from a country with a bilateral agreement on healthcare with Slovenia. If you are from a non-EU country without a bilateral agreement, you will need to have private health insurance to access healthcare services. The public healthcare system in Slovenia is generally of good quality, with well-trained medical professionals and modern facilities. However, waiting times for non-emergency treatments can be long, and there may be language barriers with some medical staff. It is recommended to register with a local general practitioner (GP) who can refer you to specialists if needed. Emergency services are available to everyone, regardless of their insurance status," explained one expat living in Ljubljana, Slovenia.
