Jien pensjonant li se ngħix barra minn Malta. Ingħatajt il-formola S1 – iżda ma nistax nikseb l-istess servizzi tal-kura tas-saħħa li kont imdorri bihom f'pajjiżi fil-pajjiż il-ġdid ta' residenza tiegħi. Dan hu normali?

You will receive treatment as if you were insured in your new country of residence, under the same conditions as nationals there. However, that does not necessarily mean you will have access to exactly the same services as in your home country. Healthcare services differ significantly across the EU, as each country decides its healthcare system. Make sure you contact the relevant national authorities before moving abroad to ask for information about your rights and obligations in your new country of residence.

If you travel to other countries or the country which you remain subject to, you can use an EHIC to receive any medical treatment that becomes medically necessary during your stay there.
