Finding healthcare providers in a new country

Knowing where to go before you need care brings peace of mind. This guide is general information, not medical advice.

Prepare

  • Find out which public and private options are available to you and what your insurance covers.
  • Identify the nearest clinic and hospital emergency department.
  • Keep copies of prescriptions and key medical records with you.

Choosing a provider

  • Ask about languages spoken, specialties and appointment process.
  • Check whether the facility accepts your insurance.
  • Never send medical details through general contact forms — TerraExpats forms don't collect them.
