Hi Santosh,

Totally hear about kids loving to hurt themselves and scare the crap out of their parents. Cost depends on whether you go to a private hospital or a public hospital, as well as the type of insurance you have.

Here in Lisbon (with private insurance) an emergency visit costs €40 which includes tests (this was my experience with visiting an emergency room in Lisbon). A very good deal compared to the USA. We've had 2 emergencies and the cost was the same at both hospitals.

Without insurance the cost at a private hospital will be significanlty more. I had to take a friend there when she came to visit, and I remember it costing well over €100.

The cost at the Centros de Saúde should be significantly less, but I haven't been to one yet.

Have a great weekend & may your kids stay safe :)
