That's awesome! TIL that the Basque country has a separate medical system, i would have thought that would be one of the things alongside foreign affairs and military that wouldn't be devolved to autonomous regions.

In France there's a similar system being rolled out currently, Dossier médical partagé, which is opt-in, and contains all of your diagnosis, tests, prescriptions, so that doctors can quickly see your medical history and present.




It is worth noting that the Basque Country and Navarre have a special regime inside Spain, which roots back to the medieval _fueros_, going as far as having their own independent tax agencies. The rest of the autonomous communities have a lot of competencies devolved from the state (education, health, etc.) but are much more controlled by the central government.
