As a foreigner living in Latvia, will I have access to public healthcare? What is it like?
We asked expats in Latvia if they have access to public healthcare in Latvia. And, if they do have access, what is it like. They wrote...
"Yes, as a foreigner living in Latvia, you will have access to public healthcare. Latvia has a universal healthcare system, which means that all citizens and legal residents are entitled to free healthcare services. The quality of healthcare in Latvia is generally good, with a wide range of services available. The country has a well-developed network of hospitals, clinics, and medical centers, and the majority of healthcare professionals are highly qualified," explained one expat living in Latvia.
