- New to Portugal
Your health should not get lost in the move.
Relocating to Portugal means new systems, new pharmacies, new prescriptions — and often, medical records scattered across countries and languages. The New to Portugal Consultation puts your healthcare back in order.
Moving countries often involves:
- Transferring medical records
- Understanding prescriptions
- Reviewing vaccinations
- Continuing chronic treatment
- Finding specialists
- Understanding public and private healthcare options
- Creating a clear medical summary
The New to Portugal Consultation
A structured medical orientation: the doctor reviews your history and documents, checks your medications and vaccinations, identifies ongoing needs, and explains how healthcare works in Portugal — public and private. You leave with a clear, written picture of your health and your next steps.
What to bring
- Identification
- Medication list
- Previous medical reports
- Laboratory results
- Imaging reports
- Vaccination records
- Hospital discharge summaries
- Relevant family medical history
Bring whatever you have — incomplete records are normal after a move, and the consultation works with what is available.
Arrive in Portugal with a health plan, not a question mark.
Available in English, Portuguese, Romanian and Russian — in person or online.
