Why in Spain every fourth patient of medical clinics is a foreigner?

The Spanish government is not engaged in active development of health tourism. Nevertheless, the quality of Spain's healthcare system, the availability of hospitals and reasonable prices attract an increasing number of foreign patients from the British Isles, as well as from the Middle East and North Africa.

Due to the problem of rising medicine prices and long queues in the UK and Ireland, residents of these countries go abroad for treatment, and Spain is one of the most popular options among them.

According to a rating published by the World Health Organization (WHO), the Spanish health system ranked seventh in the world. At the same time, the Spaniards are in second place in terms of satisfaction with the quality of medical services. In Spain, there are more than 750 hospitals, which employ 450,000 doctors and nurses. All hospitals in Spain are certified by the Ministry of Health of Spain and are under its supervision.

Doctors in Spain receive a diploma and qualification not less than 6-7 years of training. To obtain a specialization (for example, a surgeon), several more years of study and practice are needed, and only after that are issued the appropriate certificates and licenses.

In Spain, there are several medical institutions (private and public) have special offices for foreign patients. To their services are English-speaking doctors and medical personnel who have received quality education and who have completed practice in institutions recognized by the European Union and the General Medical Council of Great Britain. Thanks to its high performance, Spanish hospitals are on par with the rest of Western Europe.
