Spanish National Health System

The Spanish National Health System (SNS) provides universal healthcare coverage to all residents, funded mainly through taxes. It offers a wide range of services, including general medical care, hospital treatments, mental health, and preventive services, with most treatments free or low-cost at the point of use. Patients can choose their healthcare providers and access services through a network of public hospitals and clinics. The system emphasizes equitable access, prioritizing the health needs of the entire population, and aims to deliver quality healthcare efficiently and sustainably across Spain.
