Health care in Portugal

• Although I am an English person living in Portugal, I have to say that my experience so far is that the Portuguese Health Service is far superior to the English system. I am fortunate not to have any serious illnesses, but on the odd visit to the doctors, I have been seen quickly without an appointment and even with language barriers, there was no problem. You can also purchase many items at chemists that are prescription only in the UK. This is beneficial where you have a minor recurring problem but had to go to the doctors in the UK just to get a prescription. Hope that helps and your project goes well.
