What are healthcare services like in Liechtenstein?

When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Liechtenstein, they replied:

"Liechtenstein offers a comprehensive healthcare system that is available to both citizens and foreign residents. The public healthcare system is of high quality and is funded by the government. It provides a wide range of services, including preventive care, primary care, hospital care, and specialist care. The public healthcare system is also supplemented by private health insurance plans. Expats in Liechtenstein are able to access the public healthcare system, although they may need to pay a fee for certain services. Private health insurance plans are also available to expats, which can provide additional coverage for services not covered by the public system," explained one person living in Liechtenstein.

Are healthcare and health insurance expensive in Liechtenstein?

"Healthcare and health insurance in Liechtenstein are generally considered to be expensive. The cost of healthcare is high due to the country's small size and limited resources. Health insurance premiums are also high, as the country has a mandatory health insurance system that requires all residents to have health insurance coverage. Despite the high costs, Liechtenstein has a high quality of healthcare and a well-developed healthcare system," wrote one digital nomad living in Liechtenstein.

What are emergency services like in Liechtenstein?

When we asked about emergency services, members in Liechtenstein wrote:

"Liechtenstein has a comprehensive emergency services system that is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In the event of an emergency, the public can call the national emergency number, 112, to request an ambulance. The ambulance service is provided by the Liechtenstein Red Cross and is staffed by trained medical personnel. In addition to the ambulance service, the Liechtenstein Red Cross also provides fire and rescue services, as well as search and rescue operations," remarked one member in Liechtenstein.

Will I need to travel to see a specialist?

"Liechtenstein's capital city of Vaduz is home to a wide variety of medical specialists, including general practitioners, specialists in internal medicine, cardiology, neurology, orthopedics, and more. The nearby town of Schaan also has a number of medical specialists, including general practitioners, specialists in internal medicine, and specialists in orthopedics. Additionally, the town of Balzers has a selection of medical specialists, including general practitioners, specialists in internal medicine, and specialists in orthopedics," explained one person living in Liechtenstein.

Are common prescription medications available in Liechtenstein?

What have your experiences during the pandemic with the local healthcare system been like?

We asked expats in Liechtenstein if they have access to public healthcare in Liechtenstein. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...

"The pandemic has had a significant impact on the healthcare system in Liechtenstein. The government has implemented a range of measures to ensure the safety of patients and healthcare workers, including the introduction of telemedicine services, increased testing capacity, and the implementation of contact tracing. The healthcare system has also been able to provide timely and effective care to those who have been affected by the virus.

Overall, the healthcare system in Liechtenstein has been able to respond effectively to the pandemic, providing quality care to those in need," said one digital nomad in Liechtenstein.
