Healthcare System
Portugal provides universal healthcare to all its residents, including the unemployed and illegal immigrants. There are also health insurance schemes that provide coverage for specific sectors, both public and private. Citizens can also opt for private health insurance schemes. The system providing healthcare in Portugal is called Serviço Nacional de Saúde (SNS), managed by the Ministry of Health, and is mainly funded through general taxation, but a third of its funding comes from the private sector such as out-of-pocket payments via co-funding or direct payment by the patient.
