 |
The healthcare system in Spain has improved dramatically in the last few years..with more new hospitals opening, ranking the system in top 5 in the world. The climate and the lifestyle places spaniards amongst the worlds healthiest people..hence life expectancy is the highest within the european union. For example..the level of heart disease is amongst the lowest in the world. This is attributed to the diet and the relaxed way of life. The Spanish climate is widely recognised as beneficial to sufferers of arthritis and rheumatism. I have heard so mant times people say "I feel so much better when I have been in Spain for a few days" The medical facilities here are very good. Over 90% of spanish residents are covered by the health system. Included in this figure are residents from other EU member states, and those who receive a state pension. Also included are those people in employment and contributing to the system (similar to Uk). This also includes any dependents ans spouses. There are also numerous private health care companies in spain-some specifically for ex-pats. Rates are extremely competitive and its worth shopping around to compare benefits and quotes. Before moving in to Spanish properties you should contact your local social security office and ensure that you have completed the relevant paperwork for permanent or temporary residence in Spain. Also a useful contact to obtain information about your pension-or to request a pension forecast is http://www.thepensionservice.gov.uk |
