As a foreigner living in Israel, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Israel if they have access to public healthcare in Israel. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"Yes, as a foreigner living in Israel, you will have access to public healthcare. The public healthcare system in Israel is comprehensive and provides a wide range of services, including preventive care, primary care, specialist care, hospital care, and long-term care. The quality of care is generally high, and the cost of care is relatively low compared to other countries. Additionally, the government subsidizes healthcare costs for those who cannot afford them," remarked another expat who made the move to Israel.
