Traveling to Spain is an incredible experience—rich in culture, amazing food, and stunning scenery. But what happens if you get sick or start feeling unwell while you’re there?
It might feel overwhelming to figure out where to turn for medical help or how to understand a specialist’s advice in a foreign language. That’s where Altheum comes in. As a telemedicine company serving Europe, we’re here to support you so you can enjoy your trip without worry.
Understanding Spain’s Healthcare System
Spain’s healthcare system is known for its quality and efficiency. The public network, managed by the National Health System (SNS), offers free or low-cost care to residents and EU citizens. For visitors, access can vary depending on your nationality and the type of care you need.
For EU Tourists
If you’re from an EU country, the European Economic Area, or Switzerland, you can use your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) to tap into Spain’s public healthcare. This card gives you access to the same treatments as local residents.
For Non-EU Tourists
Visitors from outside the EU might have to pay for public healthcare or opt for private services. Some countries have agreements with Spain that provide free or discounted care, but it’s wise to have travel insurance with medical coverage to avoid unexpected costs.
