Medical Information

Emergency Medical Centre 

There is a local medical centre, Nuevo Centro de Salud which, at the time of preparing this document, is staffed 24 hours a day. 

It is situated not far from the Farmacia at the roundabout by the bridge over the N332, exit 48 at Campoamor. As you enter the roundabout take the 9 o’clock exit and follow the road until a “Y” junction where you will find the centre which is signposted.

Take your EHIC card  (European Health Insurance card, issued in your home country) and passport/EU identity card, without these items you will have to pay for the consultation. 

You can telephone for an appointment by calling 9657 21400 – 09.00 – 22.00 & Sat 09.00 -15.00. 

For those living permanently in Spain we suggest, as soon as it is possible, that you register there and this needs to be renewed every year.  Remember Your EHIC card needs renewing – frequency varies by country.

Non EU-citizens need to inquire on any applicable regulations re Health Insurance card/policy.
