The island's medical services are very good.
FOR THE HOLIDAYMAKER - Health insurance is no problem. There are a number of Insurance companies who offer inexpensive holiday cover and your travel agent will always be pleased to give you details. It is a small expense, which you should not neglect to indulge yourself in. Good health or an accident free life can never be guaranteed and holidays are no exception.

RECIPROCAL MEDICAL CARE - The Spanish NHS care is free to EEC residents provided a British NHS form Nº E111 is shown. Most local chemists and doctors speak some English and can cope with minor problems. If you need to call an ambulance this will have to be paid for because they are privately owned, you can claim for reimbursement on your holiday insurance on your return. There are several private medical centres open 24 hours, all with English speaking staff. You will be charged for consultation or call outs. Should further treatment be required they will advise on relevant specialists. A new 24-hour emergency number (similar to 999) is now available 112, with help available in Spanish, German and English.

FOR RESIDENTS - If you become resident from another EEC country you may use the Spanish National Health System. Our agents can advise you on where to go for the relevant paperwork. Most locals and many British residents join the local private health care scheme.
