The Brazilian Health System
In Brazil, the Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) provides universal and free health coverage. This system is based on a network of basic health units that interested citizens and residents can consult. However, while this solution may seem attractive due to its free nature, it is often faced with long waiting times and limited coverage of treatments. As a result, many expats turn to additional options to ensure complete coverage.
