Portugal is ranked 12th on the list of best health systems in the latest WHO survey. Very close to France, health in Portugal is articulated between the private and the public. The public offers a good quality of care and support, however it requires waiting times which can vary according to the seriousness and the priority of your condition. So many people who can afford it opt for private consultations which are not supported. Rest assured, you also continue to enjoy your rights in your country of origin.
