Who manages public health care in Spain?

✓ Las comunidades autónomas

Health care is a power of the comunidades autónomas (the regions with self-government): each one organises its own hospitals and health centres. The State sets the basic rules so that everyone gets similar care. The ayuntamientos (town councils) take care of local services such as cleaning, water or parks. So, if there is a problem with your health centre, it depends on the health service of your comunidad (for example, the Servicio Andaluz de Salud or the Servei Català de la Salut).
