REGIONAL HOSPITALS

We understand that your stay with us may only be part of your visit to this corner of Spain, or you may be out and about on day-trip - so we have included some information about other public hospitals that may be closer to you at that time.

Although in some hospitals in Andalucia (especially the Costa del Sol Hospital) some doctors may speak some English and there may even be help in the form of a voluntary interpreter, you should not depend on finding and English speaker if you have a hospital visit. If you do not speak Spanish, it is best to take someone along with you who can translate, in case you cannot explain your problem or do not understand the treatment - this will be at your own expense, as translators are not paid for.

If you live in the UK/EU and are visiting Spain / Andalucia (or indeed any other EU country), then you should always bring your valid health insurance card with you including the UK GHIC (Global Health Insurance Card), which contains your Social Security details and will give you access to state healthcare in Europe either at a reduced cost or sometimes for free. Due to the reciprocal agreement between the EU countries, this covers you under the State health system for three months - including the UK. (If you have an older UK European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) it will be valid until the expiry date on the card. Once it expires, you’ll need to apply for a GHIC to replace it.)

Note: It is also important to be aware of a notable difference between UK/European and Spanish hospitals. It is that if a patient has on-going treatment and spends some time in hospital, a relative or friend is expected to help with the general care and often has to stay overnight with the patient.
