- This video is about healthcare in Brazil. I will explain my experiences with both the public and private healthcare services. Also I will share how much I pay for health insurance and one-off private healthcare not included in my health insurance. I live in the south of Brazil so this video is mainly about healthcare services in this region of Brazil.

Absolute Bargain compared to North America . I went to a private hospital in Salvador last year . Excellent speedy service , doctors were superb …. And Brazilian dentists are easily the best in the world
It's because we have both public and private healthcare systems. So, most hospitals, doctors etc. don't exaggerate too much as in the US because they know that in last case everybody has at least a chance and would not need to pay anything. But there are some luxurious very expensive private hospitals and doctors, who don't accept health insurance, for people of high social level, of course. Happily we have all the options.
👍
"Best in the world" is a strong statement. What problems did they solve for you?
Idk if they are the best in the world, but teeth treatment here is very cheap, I've seen USA people coming here just to get a teeth treatment@@JuanBarberis
@@JuanBarberisit's more like what problems they managed to avoid for you...
Dental care is taken very seriously in Brazil, people regularly go to the dentist for a checkup and professional cleaning.
I travel to Brazil for healthcare often. Maintenance is not good but the doctors are very good.
Very true, the doctors in general are very good
Depends the city, you should visit Goiânia, it has the best ranking on public healthcare
My experience under the status as a visitor in Brazil was very good when I needed emergency care. Healthcare is considered a constitutional right in the Brazilian constitution. That was inserted in the mid 80s when the dictatorship ended.
👍
Public Hospitals exists in Brazil since ever
Sempre existiu saúde pública no Brasil, no regime militar também existia!!!
@@catiamira1mas não era universal nem direito das pessoas.
@@catiamira1de fato existiam, mas apenas trabalhadores com carteira assinada podiam utilizar.
I don’t know exactly when I subscribed to your channel but today I watched your video about health care system in Brazil, it is very precise and spot on for a new comer to Brazil.
Finally I decided to spend the whole summer in Brazil and Argentina to find about which country, which city is best for an US retiree who lives on State government ( California) pension and US social Security checks .
I am looking at buying a vineyard in Mendoza valley Argentina or /and house in South of Brazil like the one that you put in Airbnb for rental.
Thanks for creating all those wonderful videos.
Thanks for your comments. Good luck with purchasing your property!
You can establish a vineyard in Serra Gaucha. The cost will be much lower and you will be able to produce good wines.
I think you are very good on researching and speaking. Nice video, congratulations!!
Thank you!
Se a doença for critica, de tratamento caro, TODO MUNDO vai acabar tendo de lidar com o SUS...
If you are going to Brazil and planning to get a health insurance, and price is not the problem for you (willing to pay about 200 U$D monthly), I really recommend Bradesco Saúde. If is for you and your family, I recommend you get the Bradesco Saúde Empresarial (for companies). If you don't own a company, you can create a company very simply and with the help of an accountant (contador) and have a better and more affordable insurance for your whole family. Believe me, Bradesco will never deny any blood test nor consultations or exams (such as MRI, heart exams like holster, etc). Before traveling to the US, where I am now, I probably did more than 50 blood tests, along with MRI, ultrasound with doppler, a variety of heart exams, a few doctor consultations, and they never asked for co-payment or denied an exam whatsoever.
I did all those things for much less then 200 USD, here in Fortaleza. Out of pocket and for free.
Thanks for the info
@BillyGringoTv you cannot do all that for less than 200 USD, it is impossible. Just one doctor consultation in a private clinic can go from 40 USD to 170 USD. Unless you got all the consultations and most of those exams covered by SUS.
Btw you don't even know what exams I am talking about. How can you say you did them if you don't know?
I highly doubt you are speaking the truth.
Health care is the best thing in Brazil. Public system is ok is the South ans Southeast and the private system works really well and is a bargain when compared to Europe and the US.
Totally agree 👍
olha, não só sul e sudeste. familiares meu foram p Campina Grande na Paraíba e tiveram atendimento num hospital público de altíssima qualidade, acho q no de urgência e emergência de lá, melhor q muitos aqui do Rio e olha q aqui na cidade do Rio de Janeiro é de muito boa qualidade hein. E assim é em diversos municípios do nordeste.
@@felipegenuinodeoliveira Por isso o Nordeste gera ódio a alguns políticos da direita, tem muita coisa pública que funciona, como hospitais e educação, principalmente federal.
@@sauldavi6982 Tem mesmo. E muitos ainda mentem falando o contrário disso
@@sauldavi6982 menos, amigo... menos
Uma coisa boa é remédios sem marca, quebrei a perna e para não correr risco de trombose precisava de injeções que a cada 15 dias paguei 700 reais, um mês 1500, só que a de marca era 3500 a mais barata.
Você tem razão sobre remédios sem marca
aqui na minha cidade, onde moro, tem tratamentos que só é possível pelo SUS a rede privada não faz.
A melhor cidade do Brasil é viçosa do Ceará ❤
I have not been there, thanks for the tip
DEPOIS de Fortaleza, né?😂😂😂😂😅
What about schools? Educational system in general?
There are private and public schools. Unfortunately in many areas public schools suffer from a lack of funding and as a result many people send their kids to private schools. I will do a video about schools soon.
BZ here. Public schools usually lack funding but there are some very good private schools here and the BZ curriculum is much harder than in other places like the US believe it or not.
Tuition costs will vary depending on where you live. In Sao Paulo and Rio a good school can cost R$4000-5000 (800-1000usd) per month but in the country side and other capitals you can surely find cheaper and also good options.
90% public Schools ARE really bad but some 10% are good.
In Rio de Janeiro city, there many high quality schools and only a few group of 10~13 good public schools...
In general private schools and public universities are better. There are some good public schools and private universities, but you need to research each institution to be sure.
Hello Sir How Are You hope you're doing well
I need your support and advice to learn Portuguese thanks
Hello sir, what do you need help with?
I want to learn Portuguese
@@Haarat6 I am a native speaker. I could help.
My advice, start watching the news in Portuguese or some television on a daily basis. You don't have to sit in front of it every moment but it'll start to assimilate in your brain. This is all if you're not already in Brazil where you can just be practicing out in the road
Thanks @Leonardopab5
How can I contact you thanks
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
👍
Hillo Sir
I am a foreigner
Its allowed to go hospitals without CPF?
Thankyou for reply.
A foreigner without a cpf can get treatment at a hospital in Brazil but I would still recommend that you get travel insurance
@nordicinvestor thankuou.
Where I will get sir?
Any human being is entitled to get free medical treatment in Brazil, regardless of nationality. But the quality of the service varies wildly. I would also recommend that you have a private backup plan. Since you are a foreigner, I think you should look for insurance plans, since I don't think you can subscribe to private directly without having a CPF (social security number), unless you are planning for a long stay.
For me $329 US for private. Nope...cant afford that. Sadly that is a deal killer.
It's real, not dollars
329 reais. That's 65 dollars, give or take. 329 dollars would get you the premiumest of the premium. Like, you'd have an apartment room with hotel service at your disposal, breakfast made by a chef (i'm not kidding) kind of healthcare (my dad has this kind of plan. Had a surgery and jesus christ, It felt weird once I visited him post-surgery. Seemed to be on vacation. As a visitor I could have breakfast and they served me tapiocas made fresh right in front of me, at the place reserved for breakfast for visitors and doctors, not at the room) I'm at the 60 dollar lane though, heheh. Fits me nicely, never had any problems and everything is pretty straightfoward. I don't want hotel service after all, I just want to be fixed, lol. When I get older I might seriously consider it, though.
UK's NHS is a copy of brazillian SUS
👍
In fact, it's the opposite! The SUS is based on the NHS. The NHS dates back to 1948. The SUS dates back to 1990.
It's the other way around. But I would say NHS is in a poor state nowadays. SUS is better. Let's see how long it lasts, though, because we are in for a ride when it comes to a demographic age shift. We will become an "old' nation in the next 2 decades. It will be tough when it comes to public healthcare.
My Brazilian partner (from Niteroi) told me that people die in the corridor of the hospital because of the poor assistance.
It is recommended to go to a private hospital if you have health insurance.
Brazilian public health care system might change a lot in quality depending on what part of Brazil you are living. Normally de sistem works better in the south and southern regions. But it’s free for everyone and nobody gets excluded.
@@danielpiva8210 you are not excluded if you die first right?
Public health in Brazil is only reasonably good in about 5 to 6 states, including the Federal District. And even so it depends on the city you are in. If you have income in dollars and can afford health insurance, you should really get a insurance that costs about 150 U$D. You will never have to worry about consultations, blood exams, other types of exams such as MRI's, urgent care and emergency room, whatsoever.
Peter, I am Brazilian and be sure that people like your partner don't use the public healthcare in Brazil and only replicate what our sensationalist TV shows, that is, the worst cases, the most crowded hospitals in big cities etc. I don't use it, too, but I had opportunity to visit some public health centers during the pandemic for vaccines and have also visited some hospitalized people in public hospitals (big cities) and my impression has been good. Of course that if you can pay, you will have more comfort in private hospitals etc., but if you have no money, unemployed etc. at least you have a chance.
@@leonardopab5, by your name you are Brazilian, too. Why some of our compatriots have difficulty in recognizing good things and only listen to a sensationalist TV? There are also very good public hospitals etc. around the country. I myself had a relative who suffered a heart attack traveling in the northeast and had his life saved in a public hospital (and didn't pay a cent). Later I knew that it was the best cardiac hospital of the region. We are probably one of the few countries where you won't be "forgotten" even if you are a foreigner, non resident, without any health insurence card, in case of accident or if you are unconscious and won't pay anything because someone will call a public ambulance and you will be taken to a public hospital. The priority is to save the life of a human being... So, let's value what deserves to be valued.
@@nancyleal2529this has not been my experience with Brasil at all. I am Brazilian and if you are poor and use SUS there will be long lines and many times the care comes days/weeks after. My uncle had a broken foot for 4 days in Minas Gerais before he was taken care of. So each state and city have different infrastructure and it is case by case.
Não é free o SUS nós todos brasileiros que pagamos até para gringos usarem😢
É claro que não é de graça se fosse isso o país já estaria falido
Olha... mais vale todo brasileiro pagar uns 30 - 40 reais a mais nos impostos e quando precisar só emtrar e usar, do que um unico brasileiro pagando 80 mil pra cima e adoecer ou quebrar.
Claro, as cidades grandes lotam, impossivel não lotar com a grande quantidade de pessoas, mas é sempre melhor ter as duas opções, do que só ter uma do setor privado que é abusiva como nos Estados Unidos.
Pode reclamar do SUS, e de sugestões, ele tem problemas e precisa de gente com solução pra esses problemas.
Mas nunca aceite uma solução que sugerer descartar ou se livrar do SUS, jamais. Pois embora pareça uma linda maça o que oferecem, na verdade por dentro esta envenenada, e estariamos sofrendo igual os americanos se não fosse esse equilibrio que temos sustentando. E se o povo tiver bom senso, continuara a sustentar.
(Até é claro, nunca é ruim todo mundo se ajudar na saúde, ao invés de "se vira e paga" como é lá).
VIVA O SUS !
