What are medical services in Ireland like?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Ireland, they replied...
"My doctor recently made a house call to visit me when I was under the weather and unable to visit his office. Very happy with the costs and services," said another expat in Ballyconnell, 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.
