What are medical services in Dublin like?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Dublin, they replied...
"Medical services in Dublin, are generally of high quality and easily accessible. The city has numerous public and private hospitals, as well as specialized clinics and medical centers. Public healthcare is provided through the Health Service Executive (HSE), which offers a range of services, including general practitioner visits, hospital care, and emergency services. Private healthcare is also available, with many residents opting for private insurance to access faster treatment and a wider range of specialists. Pharmacies are widespread throughout the city, providing prescription medications and over-the-counter remedies. Additionally, Dublin is home to several renowned medical research institutions and teaching hospitals, contributing to advancements in medical knowledge and practice," said another expat in Dublin, Ireland.
"Every visit to GP or consultant costs money, unless you earn very little money and have a medical card. Waiting times are insane, sometimes even when you are privately insured," wrote a member who made the move to Dublin, Ireland.
