DKV Integral
The Spanish healthcare system is in the global top ten according to the new report by The Lancet journal. However, the National Health System (SNS) is undergoing a period of reform that has led to a reduction of employees and increased waiting lists, in addition to frequent breakdowns in the emergency department.
It is therefore becoming increasingly necessary to take out private health insurance that guarantees fast access, without waiting lists, to the best centres and specialists. This is even more necessary for those with small children, in order to ensure speed and quality of care in the event of any unforeseen circumstances.
This requirement is particularly evident if we compare the average waiting times of public and private health care (data from the IDIS – Institute for Health Development and Integration)
