Healthcare: What °µÍø½ûÇøs should look out for

Access to healthcare should be a priority when moving abroad, especially in the current COVID-19 pandemic environment.

Since the quality of healthcare services and applicable rules vary between countries, °µÍø½ûÇøs should understand the systems in their host countries and ensure they can get access to good medical care, hopefully for a competitive price.

Why remote work may create more °µÍø½ûÇøs

While remote work isn't a new phenomenon, living abroad in the past usually meant resigning from an existing job and starting over in a new country.
