Show answer and explanation
✓ La tarjeta sanitaria
To receive care in public health you need the tarjeta sanitaria (health card). With it you identify yourself at the centro de salud (health centre), the hospital or the pharmacy. You apply for it at the centro de salud, with your empadronamiento (local census registration). The passport and the birth certificate are not the documents for access to the system. For travelling in Europe there is the European health card.
