How does the healthcare system actually work in Portugal? There's a public sector but is it good enough or should someone only use the private sector? Do you need private health insurance and what does it cover? Michael from Serenity sits down with Josh from ExpatsEverywhere to explain how to use both the public and private sectors to benefit you. There are public and private hospitals, along with public and private clinics. He explains when you should go to each. He also talks about insurance, big companies to consider, and things to look out for when choosing your insurance.
