Healthcare when you move abroad
Public vs private healthcare abroad, international insurance essentials, and how Jonzy ranks healthcare quality across 350+ cities for anyone relocating overseas.
Healthcare quality, cost, and access vary sharply by city. Remote workers typically combine travel insurance, international private cover, or local public systems where eligible.
Public vs. private care
Some countries extend public care to residents after registration; others restrict it to citizens. Nomads often rely on private clinics and international insurance until they gain residency.
Insurance essentials
Look for outpatient cover, evacuation, pre-existing condition rules, and country exclusions. Many nomad visas require proof of insurance for the full stay.
City-level healthcare data
Jonzy scores healthcare quality per city and lists hospitals and clinics in the Healthcare Directory tool, searchable by language and neighbourhood.
