Local Health Insurance
Because the Azores belong to Portugal, the Portuguese healthcare system (SNS) applies here. Although residents theoretically have access to public services, the smaller islands often lack specialized clinics and medical specialists. In serious cases, a transport to the mainland is required, leading to substantial additional costs.
International Health Insurance
An international health insurance policy covers expensive evacuations and expands treatment options beyond local constraints. This is essential when the island infrastructure is limited, ensuring access to high-quality medical care at any time.
