Healthcare

Our Healthcare zone has everything you need to know about the French healthcare system. Learn about the public healthcare system, compulsory health insurance and top-up insurances (mutuelles), and how to apply for your Carte Vitale. Find out about whether you qualify for European Health Insurance Card, healthcare coverage for pensioners, and how to register with a doctor. We’ll also talk you through all the need-to-know information about visiting a doctor, dentist, or optician; French hospitals, pharmacies, and specialists; and accident and emergency care.
