🏥 Healthcare access
Region: Comunitat Valenciana (Conselleria de Sanitat)
Primary-care waiting time
Not published. The Generalitat Valenciana's open waiting-list dataset for public health centres does not separate primary care from specialist waits.
Obtaining a SIP card (Comunitat Valenciana)Official step
- The Conselleria states the application is made in person at the nearest centro de salud, or telematically via the SIP registration procedure with a digital certificate or Cl@ve.
- The published requirement lists an identity document (DNI/NIE).
- The Conselleria lists a certificado de empadronamiento as recommended supporting documentation to prove residence.
- Where applicable, the published requirement lists documentation of healthcare entitlement from the INSS.
- The published process states the health centre registers the applicant in the SIP and issues the SIP card.
These are specialist and surgical waits. Primary-care waiting time is devolved to the regions and is published inconsistently — see each city below.

Where these figures come from. Every number on this page is reproduced from a government body, a public transport operator, an airport authority or a national statistics office, and links back to the exact publication and the period it describes. We don't use cost-of-living aggregators. Where an official source doesn't publish something, the page says so rather than estimating.
