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.
