Spain is 18th in Europe for the quality of its public health system, behind Croatia, Estonia and even Macedonia. We’ve all heard of waiting lists. The only way to avoid them and queuing at the hospital or the GP is to have a private insurance policy.
Private health insurance in Spain offers you the freedom to choose doctors and hospitals, quick treatments and direct access to specialists. Moreover, private health insurance gives you the right to additional services not covered by the Spanish National Health System such as check-ups, acupuncture, dental care, podology, etc.
