What is healthcare actually like in Lithuania if you move there? Here is the practical picture behind its 68/100 score. These are MoveMap's rough, illustrative estimates to help you get oriented, not official statistics. Always confirm the specifics with official sources before you act.
The public system
Scored 68/100 in MoveMap's model (higher is better). Solid public healthcare. Many newcomers add affordable private cover for shorter waits and more choice. Like most of the EU, Lithuania runs a universal public system funded through contributions or taxes. Once you are a legal resident and registered, you and your family are generally covered for essential care.
Private cover and access
Public waiting times can be a frustration, so many residents and employers add affordable private insurance for quicker specialist access. Registering with a local doctor early, and carrying proof of cover, saves headaches when you first arrive.
How Lithuania compares
Among the 27 EU countries, Lithuania ranks the 19th best-scoring for healthcare in this model. As always, the experience varies between big-city hospitals and rural clinics.
