>Are portuguese services really, really good at least?

That's problem: they're not. Or better yet, they're very inefficient and rely too much on humans. Our public Health Care Service (SNS) is praised in some circles - but at the cost of poor wages and overworked staff. Not to mention the interior is starting to crumble with no people to make up for it.

FWIW, coming to Portugal from the states, their turnaround time/effectiveness on everything related to covid was way, way, way better than it is here.

I remember looking up portuguese doctor wages once and I was pretty shocked. Technology jobs would be more advantageous.
