As a foreigner living in Dublin, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Dublin if they have access to public healthcare in Dublin. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"As a foreigner living in Dublin, you will have access to public healthcare, provided you meet certain residency requirements. Public healthcare in Ireland is managed by the Health Service Executive (HSE) and offers a range of services, including primary care, hospital care, and emergency services. The quality of public healthcare in Ireland is generally good, with well-trained medical professionals and modern facilities. However, waiting times for non-emergency treatments can be long, and some services may require co-payments or additional charges. Many residents also opt for private health insurance to supplement the public system and gain access to faster treatment and additional services," said another expat in Dublin, Ireland.
