How are healthcare services in Altea?
When we asked expats and global nomads about the quality of medical care in Altea, they replied...
"Although the primary care from physicians and the local hospital/clinic are generally adequate, I recommend getting a second opinion before accepting a recommendation for major treatment like surgery, even though you will likely have to pay that out of pocket. Doctors, treatments, medications are dramatically less expensive here. Custom orthotics would have cost me approximately $300 in the US, but are $45 here. ," said another expat in Altea, Spain.
"Altea offers a wide range of healthcare services to its citizens. The public healthcare system is provided by the Spanish National Health System (SNS), which is funded by the government and provides free healthcare to all citizens. The SNS offers primary care services, such as general practitioner visits, specialist visits, and hospitalization. Additionally, Altea has several private healthcare providers that offer a variety of services, such as dental care, optometry, and physical therapy. The city also has several pharmacies that provide prescription medications and over-the-counter drugs. Finally, Altea has a number of health centers that provide preventive care, such as vaccinations and health screenings," wrote a member who made the move to Altea, Spain.
