The public system - CAPs
The public health service in Catalonia is called CatSalut. Services are generally free or low-cost if you have a health card (tarjeta sanitaria).
Public health centres are called Centros de Atención Primaria (CAPs), A CAP is the first place to go when you have a health problem.[1]
