The French health system is one of the best in the world. How to use it well? A few tips for you:

Select a general practitioner (GP), “family doctor” as soon as you arrive.

The main guide of your medical follow up and that of your family.

The family doctor is specialized in family medicine, all ages, including children (vaccination, development included). He/she is well informed about which specialists to go to and will know if it is necessary or not.

You can decide to go see the local general practitioner, or a doctor in either a public or a private hospital.
