EHIC Tourist Medical Help

EHIC Tourist Medical Help

Postby Phil_pjb » Fri Sep 03, 2021 9:14 am

Hi, I’m visiting and have started to feel unwell, not enough to bother the A&E department (although I did drive there while in pain, but it subsided), but would like the opinion of a professional so seeking advice.

I’m based in Quesada, but don’t mind travelling. I’d ideally like to go to a health centre to explain symptoms and seek their advice.

Can I use the Health Centre in Rojales with my EHIC? It’s valid until 2025 and I’m uk resident. Is there a recommended location over Rojales locally that you’ve experienced?

Thanks in advance

Yes you can. Either the Lo Marabu one or the Rojales one.

Thanks for your rapid reply. I went to Lo Marabu and for the sake of others:

- I went with passport and EHIC
- was seen on reception by a lovely lady, I had prepared my Spanish phrases on a translation app, but she switched to English. She asked what the problem was and I asked to see somebody if possible.
- she took my passport abs EHIC, and generated a temporary SIP for me.
- I was seen by the doc within 5 minutes, and following a quick examination, given a prescription and appropriate advice.

It look me longer to prepare the Spanish phrases than it did to be seen!

Take care everyone.

Who’d have thought… the only difference was the weather and a difference country, and non EU. But yeah, thankfully seamless. :-)
