How are local medical facilities in Spain?
We asked members about local medical facilities in Spain, they wrote...
"Haven't used, but hear they are fine. Private insurance first year (about $80 per month with NO deductible), after that can get on state medical for free," remarked another expat in Granada, Spain.
"Medical facilities and medical care in Spain are generally of a high quality. The country has a well-developed healthcare system, with many top-class hospitals and medical centers. Doctors and nurses are highly trained and experienced, and there are a range of specialist services available. The healthcare system is free at the point of care and a range of private services are also offered. The Spanish government also offers a number of preventative healthcare programs that promote public health," said a member in Spain.
