Brazil's Healthcare Infrastructure
Public Healthcare System (SUS)
The public healthcare system is available to everyone, including foreigners, and offers free or low-cost medical services. It's funded by taxes, and you can visit public hospitals and clinics without paying for consultations or basic treatments. While the public system is widely accessible, it may involve longer wait times and fewer resources compared to private facilities.
Private Healthcare System
The private system offers faster access to care, often with modern facilities and more personalized service. Private hospitals and clinics can be accessed by paying directly or through private health plans. While it offers a higher level of service, private care is more expensive than public, but guarantees shorter wait times and better access to specialists.
