The weight of private healthcare in the surgical activity of the National Health System

February 21, 2025 tedisel

The health system in Spain is a mixed system in which public health, managed by the National Health System (SNS), and private health, made up of non-public hospitals and clinics, coexist.

“In recent years, the private sector’s participation in the NHS’s surgical activity has increased considerably, generating a necessary debate on its implications in terms of efficiency, accessibility and equity in healthcare.“

The context of mixed healthcare in Spain

The National Health System (SNS) is responsible for the provision of most healthcare in Spain, financed through taxes and offering universal coverage to the population.

However, private healthcare plays a decisive role, not only as an alternative for those seeking faster or more specialized care, but also as a complement to the public system through agreements and outsourcing of services.

“Spain has 751 hospitals, of which 449 (approximately 60%) belong to the NHS. These institutions offer a total of 155,077 beds, distributed as follows: 82.5% (126,004) for the public network and 17.5% (29,073) for the private sector.“

The ratio of beds per 1,000 inhabitants has decreased slightly, from 3.30 in 2013 to 3.24 in 2022. This decrease is partly due to the increasing number of procedures being carried out on an outpatient basis, which has risen from 41.72% to 48.30% in the same period.

Health agreements between the SNS and the private sector allow patients to be referred to private centers with the aim of reducing waiting lists and optimizing resources.

In the surgical field, these agreements have intensified in autonomous communities with greater healthcare pressure, especially in high-demand procedures such as traumatology, ophthalmology, and general surgery.

Surgical activity and public-private collaboration

In 2022, there were 5.2 million hospital admissions in Spain.

The SNS attended to 4.1 million of these admissions, with an average stay of 7.8 days, and performed 3.5 million surgical interventions, of which 49% were outpatient surgery.

“Private hospitals carried out 1.7 million surgeries, 38% of them on an outpatient basis. It is worth noting that 25% of these interventions in the private sector were financed by the public system, although this percentage has decreased by three points since 2013.“

The increase in the referral of surgeries to private healthcare is driven by several factors, including:

Long waiting lists in the public health system
The high demand for surgical procedures has generated waiting times that in some cases exceed six months.
Lack of resources in public hospitals, such as a shortage of operating theatres, health personnel and medical supplies.
Health management strategies
Some autonomous communities have adopted active policies of collaboration with the private sector to alleviate the burden on the SNS.

Human resources in the SNS and private healthcare

Staffing levels are a crucial factor in the provision of quality healthcare services.

There are 585,253 professionals working in SNS hospitals and associated centres, of which 98.2% are permanent staff.

In contrast, private hospitals have 74,597 professionals of their own and 34,379 who provide services through non-salaried links.

The ratio of doctors per 100 beds is 81.3 in the SNS and 33.3 in the private sector, showing a higher density of professionals in the public sector.

“The ratio of doctors per 100 beds is 81.3 in the SNS and 33.3 in the private sector, showing a higher density of professionals in the public sector.“

Hospital financing and expenditure

Total hospital expenditure in 2022 reached 60.5 billion euros, with 53.6 billion corresponding to public hospitals and 6.9 billion to private hospitals.

In public hospitals, the largest item is personnel expenses (47.3%), followed by purchases and current expenses (36%), of which almost half corresponds to pharmaceutical products.

In the private sector, the main expenditure is concentrated on purchases (43%), with 17% going to pharmaceutical products.

Advantages and disadvantages of private participation in the NHS surgical activity

Advantages

Reduction of waiting lists
Referring patients to private hospitals allows more interventions to be carried out in less time, reducing waiting times for patients.
Optimization of resources
By taking advantage of the infrastructure and personnel of the private health sector, the public system can concentrate on more complex cases and emergency care.
Flexibility and efficiency
private centers, in many cases, have a greater capacity to manage operating theatres and operating hours without the bureaucratic limitations of the NHS.

Disadvantages

Impact on the equity of the system
Dependence on private healthcare generates inequalities, since those who can afford private insurance or direct private care can access surgery more quickly than those who depend exclusively on the NHS.
Additional costs for the public system
Although healthcare agreements can reduce waiting lists, they also imply additional expenses for the NHS, given that interventions in private centers tend to have a higher cost than those in public hospitals.
Risk of disinvestment in the public sector
If the public health system resorts excessively to the private sector, investment in public hospitals could be reduced and affect the quality of service.

Una colaboración necesaria

La interacción entre el SNS y la sanidad privada en España es clave para garantizar una atención sanitaria eficiente y accesible. .

La colaboración en la actividad quirúrgica ha permitido abordar desafíos como las listas de espera y la optimización de recursos.

Sin embargo, hay que mantener un equilibrio que asegure la equidad en el acceso y la sostenibilidad del sistema sanitario en su conjunto.

Incorporating Innovative, High-Quality Healthcare Technology: An Essential Challenge for Spain’s National Health System

November 18, 2024 tedisel

Do companies in the Healthcare Technology sector have an innovative DNA? Yes, without a doubt. This ability to continuously advance poses a challenge for Spain’s National Health System (SNS). To address this challenge, the Spanish Federation of Healthcare Technology Companies, Fenin, has introduced various solutions to facilitate rapid access to the latest technological innovations for patients and healthcare professionals.

“Technology and medical products play a decisive role in patient care. Our industry offers new solutions for patients’ clinical needs and the healthcare system’s challenges. It is essential to ensure access to these technologies so healthcare professionals can improve diagnoses and treatments. It’s impossible to build a future-focused healthcare system using outdated technology,” explained Pablo Crespo, Fenin’s Secretary-General, during a seminar.

To promote the adoption of “high-quality” healthcare technology within the SNS, Fenin proposes several measures. These include implementing public procurement models based on value to maintain care quality, restructuring care processes to enhance system efficiency, and fostering a culture of investment planning to prevent technological obsolescence in hospitals and health centers.

Quality, not just price, should be the determining factor in public healthcare technology procurement contracts. “Fenin works with health administrations to establish new procurement models where at least 50% of award criteria are linked to the value provided by the product or service. Only quality technology ensures precise diagnoses and safer treatments, ultimately improving health outcomes and SNS efficiency,” added Fenin’s Secretary-General.

“Fenin proposes harnessing the full potential of quality healthcare technologies and ensuring equitable access for healthcare professionals and patients.”

Indexation of Public Contracts and Medical Products

Regarding public contracts and medical products included in pharmaceutical services, Fenin suggests that these contracts be indexed—allowing for price adjustments throughout their duration based on prevailing conditions—to ensure Spain remains competitive in providing patients with the best healthcare technology. Thus, Fenin proposes indexing to the Consumer Price Index (CPI), as previously allowed under the Public Sector Contracts Law until 2015.

Also tied to innovation within the SNS, the seminar addressed the renewal of the technology infrastructure in national hospitals. Despite the recent success of the INVEAT Plan—which facilitated the replacement and expansion of nearly 850 high-tech devices nationwide—Spain still shows “worrying levels of obsolescence in certain technology segments that did not benefit from the INVEAT Plan, exceeding the maximum recommended ‘useful’ life threshold (between 10 and 12 years) set by international organizations,” Fenin emphasized.

In this regard, Fenin calls for a national investment strategy to meet the so-called “Golden Rules” or “60-30-10” guidelines: 60% of equipment should be less than five years old, 30% between five and ten years, and no more than 10% over ten years old (considered obsolete). The ultimate goal should be zero obsolescence.

Clínica Mi NovAliança

Legislative Changes

Some of these initiatives require legislative changes. For example, reforming the Law on Guarantees and Rational Use of Medicines and Medical Products is necessary. This legislation—despite its name—is currently structured with the pharmaceutical sector in mind, rather than the Healthcare Technology sector.

“It has been 18 years since the catalog of medical products has been updated, and technological innovation in medical products dispensed with a prescription in pharmacies has been limited. This results in Spanish patients receiving products that are already discontinued in many European countries. It’s encouraging that the Ministry of Health is considering this legislative reform, but it must result in a regulation distinct from that governing medicines, given the technical and intrinsic differences in our sector,” concluded Pablo Crespo.
