The 6 Countries with the Best Hospitals In The World

4. Spain

Spain would be ranked higher except for a few quirks in their health care system. There are numerous highly ranked hospitals throughout Spain, and health care is universal and there are generally no private expenses. The problem in Spain is with prescription drugs. The country does not provide coverage for these, and as a tourist they can be very difficult to get refilled. Thus, if you’re traveling to Spain, make sure to refill your prescription before you go, and if you live there already, you most likely already pay separately for your prescriptions. This issue does not fully take away from Spain’s generally exemplary health care, but it is a cause for concern for many travelers.
