Slip of the keyboard? Why the "still"? This makes it sound as if having signage in one's native language is something that's backwards and that ought to be changed...
I don't know the rules about medical treatment for tourists here, but imagine it might be similar to the UK.
AFAIK the UK is very much in a minority in providing emergency medical treatment for free. Most countries require visitors to be insured. I know that to get emergency treatment in other EU countries I need to produce my European Health Insurance card.
