Healthcare in Lithuania
Lithuanian healthcare is considered one of the best in Europe. Treatment in Lithuania is among the top four EU countries in terms of price / quality ratio (data from the Swedish Research Institute).
The following sections of medicine are strong in Lithuania: allergology, gastroenterology, cryology, cardiac surgery, general and abdominal surgery, hematology, gynecology, urology, neurology, radiology, dermatovenereology, nephrology, orthopedics, endocrinology, otolaryngology, ophthalmology, treatment of the knee arthritis, etc. And the powerful rehabilitation centers of Lithuania have been known in the world for many years.
The prices of the full package of medical services in Lithuanian clinics are much lower than in private clinics of the European Union. Low prices for treatment in Lithuanian clinics make treatment popular among foreign patients. So, for dental treatment or various plastic surgery operations in Lithuanian clinics, the flow of patients from the UK, France, Germany, and Scandinavian countries grows every year. And for residents of countries of the former post-Soviet countries, especially, treatment in Lithuanian clinics of diseases such as the cardiovascular system, diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, etc. is in great demand.
The doctors’ highest qualifications, modern effective treatment methods, the reliability of medical equipment and comprehensive medical care – from diagnostics to postoperative rehabilitation – all of these meet the high standards of medicine in the EU countries.
In order to receive medical assistance, Lithuanian residents need to pay compulsory health insurance premiums (OSZ) monthly in the amount of 9% of the minimum monthly wage. Those who work under employment contracts, a third of the tax paid by the employer. But the self-employed must pay the tax themselves, and in full.
The unemployed in Lithuania get the medical care at the expense of the state. This is considered one of the main bonuses at registration at the Employment Market, since unemployment benefits are paid temporarily, and the person who has not found a job will still not have money for the paid medical assistance.
Other socially vulnerable people in Lithuania – children, pupils, full-time students, retirees and the disabled are all insured by the state funds.
