Regular health care
Within the public system, standard and free health care is available first through the general practitioner who treats the patient or if necessary refers the patient to a specialist.
To have access to primary health care the Individual Health Card (TIS) is required or to have been granted approval for the request for health assistance. In the Basque Country, this assistance is offered by the Basque Health Service-Osakidetza, which has a network of public health centres.
General health care timetables
Eibar has a number of public health centres and that is where the assigned doctor's or specialist's working times can be consulted.
Medical appointments can be made on-line or by calling the local health centre.
Medicines
Medicines may be purchased at the chemist’s. Many of these require a medical prescription.
There are various discounts available on prescriptions issued in the public system depending on each person's particular situation (employed, pensioners, those receiving the Income Guarantee Grant…)
There are a number of night chemists open outside the normal schedule.
