Six Months Too Late: When Waiting Becomes Fatal — What IB‑Salut Must Now Answer

Answer

Is private insurance the only way to avoid long waits in Mallorca?

No, but it is one option some residents consider when they are worried about delays in the public system. Private coverage can give quicker access to some consultations and tests, yet it is not the right solution for everyone. Many people still rely on the public health service and simply try to document symptoms carefully and keep pressure on the referral process.
