How are healthcare services in Barcelona?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Barcelona, they replied...
"Barcelona offers a wide range of healthcare services to its citizens. The public healthcare system is provided by the Catalan Health Service (CatSalut), which is funded by the government and provides free healthcare to all residents. CatSalut operates a network of hospitals, clinics, and health centers throughout the city, offering a range of services including primary care, specialist care, emergency care, and mental health services. Private healthcare is also available in Barcelona, with a number of private hospitals and clinics offering a range of services. Private healthcare is generally more expensive than public healthcare, but may offer shorter waiting times and more personalized care. Barcelona also has a number of specialized medical centers, such as the Barcelona Institute for Global Health, which focuses on research and education in global health," said another expat in Barcelona, Spain.
