# Which document do you need to receive medical care in the public health system?

Question 5031 · Task 5 · Spanish society · CCSE 2026

**In Spanish, as in the exam:** ¿Qué documento se necesita para recibir atención médica en la sanidad pública?

- a) El pasaporte. (The passport.)
- b) La tarjeta sanitaria. (The tarjeta sanitaria (health card).) · Right answer
- c) El certificado de nacimiento. (The birth certificate.)

**Right answer:** b) La tarjeta sanitaria.

## Why

The individual health card lets you receive medical care in the public health system and get medicines with a prescription. The passport and the birth certificate cannot be used for this.
