Specialists and mental health care in Galicia
In Galicia your family doctor or pediatrician decides on a referral to a specialist; you cannot ask for one directly. The Sergas mental health network includes mental health units, day hospitals and psychiatric units in general hospitals.
- Why it matters
- Knowing who decides on a referral, and how to follow your appointments online, avoids delays.
- When
- You need a specialist in Galicia, or you or someone close to you needs mental health care.
