Healthcare in Spain: A foreigner’s perspectiveOpinions on national healthcareA seamless experienceEfficiency that speaks volumes

An American who is new in Spain took to social media to highlight how much better he felt the healthcare system was compared to his home country.

A recent visit to a doctor in Spain left an American astounded by the affordability and efficiency of the Spanish healthcare system, contrasting sharply with his experiences back home.

Healthcare in Spain: A foreigner’s perspective

In February, following a ten-day illness, an American national and his wife, who recently relocated to Barcelona, sought medical assistance. They were part of a trial three-month stay to determine if Barcelona would be a suitable place for them to settle.

Surprisingly, their medical experience was not only swift but cost them the equivalent of a mere $40, in stark contrast to the $1,000 a month he typically pays in the US for health insurance.

Opinions on national healthcare

Despite the positive experience shared by foreigners, the Spanish themselves hold a more critical view of their healthcare system.

A Health Barometer from the Ministry of Health, based on data from the Centre for Sociological Research (CIS) in February 2023, reveals that only 56.7 per cent of Spaniards believe that the National Health System functions well or quite well.

A seamless experience

The process of receiving medical care involved a brief 20-minute wait and a $29 fee, as the couple were not eligible for free medical services.

‘The way to give us the prescription was an email that had a couple of QR codes,’ the man explained on TikTok. This digital approach allowed them to collect their prescription using just their mobile phone at any nearby pharmacy.

The overall simplicity and lack of waiting times left the couple exceedingly impressed, indicating their surprise at the huge contrast to the US system.

Efficiency that speaks volumes

The cost-effective and efficient service highlighted significant differences between healthcare systems. The doctor’s consultation fee was $29, and at the pharmacy the medication cost them just $11.

He emphasised, ‘We spent $40 and without insurance’, highlighting the substantial savings compared to the fees and lengthy waiting times they had experienced in the US.
