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.
