Lebanon is a country rich in history and culture, attracting many expatriates. However, for those looking to settle there, health insurance is a crucial consideration. As an expatriate, having the right coverage is essential to ensure your well-being in a country with varied medical infrastructures.
The Lebanese healthcare system is both public and private. While public services do exist, they are often limited and do not cover all types of care. Most Lebanese residents and expatriates therefore opt for private insurance to ensure better medical coverage. These local insurances may offer suitable coverage, but it is important to fully understand their limitations, especially regarding international coverage and long-term care.
Good to know: In Lebanon, consultations with specialists do not always require a general practitioner’s referral, but fees can vary greatly from one facility to another.
As an expatriate, you have the option of subscribing to local health insurance or opting for international coverage. Local insurance may seem more affordable, but it may not cover care abroad or specific interventions. On the other hand, international insurance, such as that offered by APRIL International, allows you to benefit from worldwide coverage with solid guarantees in several countries, including Lebanon.
Good to know: Some international insurances offer multilingual assistance, a significant advantage in a country where Arabic, French, and English are spoken.
Lebanon is renowned for its private hospitals, which provide high-quality care comparable to Western standards. Expatriates generally prefer private facilities, as they are better equipped and staffed with specialists trained abroad. You can rely on several clinics and hospitals that specialize in treating non-residents. Some hospitals even offer personalized assistance services for expatriates, making administrative procedures and communication between doctors and foreign patients easier.
Good to know: It is highly recommended to choose a facility with a strong international reputation if you have specific medical needs or in case of an emergency.
