With a social state approach, the Spanish healthcare system is considered one of the best around the world. Across the country, there is an extensive network of modern hospitals and healthcare centers that provide efficient service with reasonable waiting times. Beyond the fact that Spain’s life expectancy is higher than most other European countries, it depends on an efficient healthcare system as well as the Mediterranean climate, clean air and feeding habits.
EU citizens can benefit from healthcare services on an equal basis with Spanish citizens. On the other hand, non-EU citizens can register in the social security system with their work permit and can enjoy the same rights.
Also, private health insurance is a common fact in Spain. By paying around €50 per person per month, you can wait for less time and get more focused and quality service, if you so desire.
