Hi Juanita,
Can I take this opportunity to remind everyone of the following.
Regardless of which country we live in, everywoman should routinely avail of smear tests from approx age 20 to 65.
Mammograms from at least age 50 up to age 65.
Every man over age 50 should avail of at least annual Prostate checkups.
Both need regular bowel screenings certainly over age 60.
All above of course need urgent attention if a person finds lumps or changes in their bodies.
Some European countries provide regular screenings and send regular annual or biannual appointments for people to attend.
However so far I haven’t seen visible signs of such a policy within Spain. Perhaps others may know the answer.
Juanita back to your question, your private health insurance provider will be able to tell you what services they provide within your policy. Hopefully you are covered under wellwoman checkups.
Please look up the following link as it could be helpful.
