Find your assigned public health center (centro de salud)
Your public primary-care center in Asturias is the centro de salud that corresponds to your home address under the Asturias Mapa Sanitario.
- Why it matters
- Public healthcare in Asturias is organized around your assigned center: you request your health card there, are assigned a family doctor/nurse there, and book routine appointments with them, so knowing which center is yours is the first practical health step after you register your address.
- When
- You have, or are about to obtain, public healthcare entitlement and need a GP, nurse or pediatrician, or you move to a new address.
- How long it takes
- The health card is posted to your home once produced; the application receipt is valid to use public healthcare meanwhile (Astursalud). No standard processing time is stated.
