Medical service in Barcelona
It may safely be said that Barcelona is an ideal place for medical treatment and health improvement. It is a city with a wide variety of diverse medical centres offering a full range of high-quality medical services for significantly more advantageous prices in comparison with German, Swiss and Austrian clinics. Here health improves much faster thanks to a mild climate, sea air, various SPA centres, thermal springs, mud health centres and resort hotels on the Catalonian coast.
Barcelona is considered the capital of Spanish medicine. The quality of service in local medical centres is as good as in German, French and Israeli hospitals. The capital of Catalonia makes use of medical innovations and implements the newest developments improving the efficiency of treatment making it as attenuated as possible. There are many famous research institutes and centres in Barcelona, which is why the local healthcare system employs the latest developments in the spheres of pharmaceuticals and computer technology. All the institutions, both private and state, are equipped with the newest medical and diagnostic equipment. More than 16 thousand patients from all over the world come here for medical examination and treatment yearly.
The medical centres of Barcelona follow very strict quality standards. A medical centre will be fined in case if a patient is dismissed earlier than planned and has to come back to the centre with the same problem.
Not only doctors, but nurses here have a higher education, they have to study for at least 5 years in a specialized university. In general, Spain differs from other countries due to its severe requirements in medical personnel training. The breakthrough of the local medicine was connected with a healthcare reform of the 80s, presupposing a fund increase and a rise in personnel training quality. Since then, only students with the highest marks have been able to enter the medical universities of Spain. Having finished the studies, the students have to pass a very difficult medicine test called MIR and do an internship. All the interns have to carry out a research and teaching activity in their universities in order to help to create new specialists.
One more advantageous differential feature of Barcelona is the fact that all the leading medical centres are situated within the same city. The most famous of them are:
