Spanish institutions of medicine

In Spain, family doctor's offices (medico de cabecera) and community clinics provide primary care (centro de salud or centro de asistencia primaria or CAP). Medical facilities staffed by general practitioners, paediatricians, nurses, gynaecologists, and physical therapists are available in every region.

Approximately six general practitioners are employed at Spain's health centres. Although you can arrange an appointment with a specific doctor at some clinics, you may not necessarily see that doctor when you receive treatment. In addition, Spain is home to numerous specialised hospitals where you can obtain first-rate medical care.

The Spanish Ministry of Health is a fantastic place to begin your search for a local clinic.
