The public healthcare system is served and managed by the Basque healthcare system (''[[Osakidetza]]''), which has a network of medical centres established across the city. The most relevant hospital of the city is the Basurto Hospital, located in the [[Basurto-Zorroza]] district. It was opened in 1908 after ten years of construction, and it was built due to the fast increase of population in the late 19th century. Its design was based on the [[University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf|Eppendorf Hospital]] of [[Hamburg]], in (Germany), one of the most modern at the time.<ref>{{cite news |last=González |first=Carlos |title=A Hundred Years of the Basurto Hospital |url=http://servicios.elcorreodigital.com/aniversario/hospital-basurto/historia.html |work=El Correo Digital |access-date=2 December 2008 |archive-date=26 December 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081226060251/http://servicios.elcorreodigital.com/aniversario/hospital-basurto/historia.html |url-status=live }}</ref> In 2008 the hospital was named the best hospital in customer support in Spain.<ref>{{cite news |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |title=Basurto wins the award of best hospital in customer care |url=http://www.deia.com/es/digital/bizkaia/2008/11/11/514635.php|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090124075612/http://www.deia.com/es/digital/bizkaia/2008/11/11/514635.php|url-status=dead|archive-date=24 January 2009|work=Deia|date=11 November 2008 |access-date=9 September 2018}}</ref>

However, the two largest hospitals that provide healthcare services to the inhabitants of the city are located outside of the city limits: the University Hospital of Gurutzeta/Cruces in neighbouring [[Barakaldo]] and the Galdakao-Usansolo Hospital in [[Galdakao]]. Other minor public hospitals located in the city include the Santa Marina Hospital and the Hospital of Urduliz, located in the metropolitan area.
