Health Services
Austria enjoys one of the most efficient health care systems in Europe. A comprehensive network of specialty physicians and state-of-the-art hospitals can be found nationwide. Physicians with excellent qualifications, well-trained nursing staff and various emergency and rescue services (ambulance, air- and mountain rescue) provide complete medical coverage around the clock.
The Austrian social security and health care system ensures that every Austrian has medical coverage. Standard medical insurance includes hospitalization and outpatient treatment.
