You’ll never know when you are in need of medical attention, so better be informed on how you can access medical care. Should you get ill in France, worry not, for their hotlines are very much available 24 hours a day. The following are the numbers you may want to take note of:

The universal hybrid healthcare system in France is considered an excellent healthcare service and is actually one of the best in the world. Legal residents who meet the residency requirements of the country or those who have also stayed for three months in France, including expats, can make use of this healthcare system. The said healthcare costs are settled by both the state and the individual seeking medical attention

If you are visiting and staying for more or less a year, it is advisable that you secure insurance to prepare you for any health emergencies during your stay. You may also check with your insurance agent back in your country if your coverage is able to extend in France. You may also reach out to international healthcare insurance providers such as Cigna or Top Expat Insurance.

Should you be an expat in France you may want to secure your medical plans in advance by contacting Global Health Foyer Group for their health policies specialized for expats. You may reach them at +352 437 43 4256 or drop them an email on their website at https://www.foyerglobalhealth.com/.

Also, it's generally a good advice and often a much cheaper option to check what insurance packages are available in your own country and what coverage they offer in France.
