Brazil
Will I need to travel to see a specialist?
When we asked members in Brazil if they typically need to travel to see specialists, they replied...
"Brazil offers an array of highly qualified medical specialists in a variety of cities and areas throughout the country. Sao Paulo, the largest city in Brazil, is home to one of the best selections of specialized medical professionals. Rio de Janeiro is also home to a number of excellent hospitals and clinics, many of which are staffed with highly skilled medical personnel. The capital city of Brasilia is also home to many medical specialists, as well as a variety of specialists who focus on providing personalized care. Other cities and areas of Brazil with a reputation for great medical care include Belo Horizonte, Florianopolis, and Porto Alegre," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Brazil.
"Natal, Bazil has a number of specialists for a range of health issues that you would normally find in a large city. My doctor is a Cardiologist who is well trained and enjoys a very good professional reputation. But doctors here take on patients regardless of their specialty. My wife has had some skin issues requiring specialist in dermatology and some out-patient surgeries. Excellent care and facilities with many of these doctors do speak English. All covered by our paid for insurance," commented one expat who made the move to Natal, Brazil.
