Emergency health care also played an important role during the first wave of the pandemic. This service is provided by hospital emergency services, out-of-hospital emergency centres and the coordination of 061 and 112 emergency telephone numbers. The map on [[:File:Physical PSpain_Physical-resources of -for-out--of--hospital -emergency services-services_2020_map_18526_eng.jpg|''Physical resources of out-of-hospital emergency services'']] shows the out-of-hospital emergency centres and the coordination of 061 and 112 emergency telephone numbers.
The first link in the health care chain is the [[:File:Primary Health Care Centres.jpg|''Primary Health Care Centres'']], which is supported by clinics and health centres. There are 10,080 clinics and 3,051 health centres in total in Spain. This map accurately shows the patterns of the human settlement system: clinics are more present in the Northern Plateau and in mountain areas, as they are ideal for habitats with sparsely populated human settlements, whilst health centres are more present in larger municipalities, i.e. along the Northern coast, along the Mediterranean coast, in the Southern Plateau and in major towns in Aragón and Castile and León (Castilla y León).
