As a foreigner living in Poland, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Poland if they have access to public healthcare in Poland. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"Yes, as a foreigner living in Poland, you will have access to public healthcare. The quality of care is generally good, with a wide range of services available. The public healthcare system is funded by the government and is free for all citizens and legal residents. The system is divided into two parts: the National Health Fund (NFZ) and the private sector. The NFZ provides basic healthcare services, while the private sector offers more specialized services. The public healthcare system is generally well-regarded and is considered to be one of the best in Europe," explained one expat living in Poland.
