Osakidetza is the Basque Health Service, a part of the Basque Government in Spain. It was established in 1983 to provide public health services to the Basque Country.
History[edit | edit source]
Osakidetza was created by the Basque Government in 1983, following the approval of the Statute of Autonomy of the Basque Country. The aim was to establish a public health service that would cater to the needs of the Basque Country.

Osakidetza is structured into seven health regions, each of which is further divided into health districts and primary care areas. The health regions are: Álava, Biscay, Gipuzkoa, High Deba, Bajo Bidasoa, Donostialdea, and Goierri-Alto Urola.
