Summary: The quality of medical care in France is generally considered to be very high. France has a universal healthcare system that provides access to medical care for all citizens, and the country is known for its excellent doctors and hospitals. Emergency services in France are also very reliable and efficient. In the event of an emergency, you can call the national emergency number, 112, to request an ambulance.
How are healthcare services France?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in France, they replied:
"Healthcare services in France are provided by a public healthcare system, known as the French Social Security system. This system is funded by contributions from employers and employees, as well as by the government. The quality of public healthcare in France is generally considered to be very good, with access to a wide range of services, including preventive care, hospital care, and specialist care. Foreign residents in France are eligible to use the public healthcare system, although they may need to pay a fee for certain services. Expats in France can use the public healthcare system by registering with the French Social Security system and paying the required contributions," remarked one expat living in France.
