Healthcare System in Spain

Spain was ranked 7^th on the WHO’s international comparative list of the world’s best health systems. The report also claimed that the Spanish people ranked second in Europe regarding the quality of healthcare they received.

The Spanish healthcare system has a combination of both public and private involvement. The public sector provides free or low cost health care to those who contribute to the Spanish social security. Spain has more than 750 hospitals served by 450,000 doctors and nurses. All of the hospitals in Spain are recognized and supervised by the Spanish Ministry of Health.

Spain’s resilient economy has also helped to boost their healthcare system by creating leading medical facilities with qualified physicians providing healthcare to their citizens and foreign patients.
