Health Services
The General Health Law 14/1986, of April 25, establishes that the National Health System is the set of health services from the State Administration and the Autonomous Communities. It integrates all the health functions and services that are the responsibility of public authorities to ensure the fulfillment of the right to health protection. Along with this, the General Health Law establishes the universality of coverage as one of the basic characteristics of the Spanish system, determining that public healthcare will extend to the entire population.
It also sets equity as a general principle of the National Health System, understood as the guarantee that access to and healthcare services will be provided under conditions of effective equality.
