Hi @GCOMM Thanks for your question!We’ve checked in with Glenda Cole, our expert in Portugal to get an answer to your question. This was her response,
In the Algarve, pretty much all private docs speak English. In Lisbon and Porto, it requires a bit of research on their websites to find a doctor that speaks English.
If you are moving to Portugal, you want to research a general practitioner who speaks English. They will then refer you to any specialists you need, keeping in mind that you need an English speaker.
My doctor is South African. She speaks better English than I do.
Thanks for the information about researching a general practitioner.
