What were the advantages and disadvantages of Spain’s 2002 healthcare reform transferring full healthcare competencies to 10 additional autonomous communities?

Advantages: Allowed regional governments to tailor healthcare policies to local needs, improving responsiveness and flexibility. Encouraged innovation at the regional level to address specific healthcare challenges. Disadvantages: Created regional disparities in healthcare quality and access due to unequal administrative and financial capacity among communities. Coordination between national and regional systems became more complex, leading to inefficiencies.
