Here are some tips to help you navigate the healthcare system in Madrid:


Hospitals are the first option in case of emergencies or more serious health issues. Madrid’s hospitals are equipped to provide advanced medical care. Don’t hesitate to seek help at one of these facilities if necessary.

If it’s not an emergency, it’s important to schedule appointments in advance at public clinics. Madrid has a well-established public healthcare system that provides high-quality medical services. To ensure prompt medical care, book appointments ahead of time by phone or online.

In the Spanish healthcare system, a referral from a general practitioner is often required to see a specialist. Understanding this process can help you navigate the system more efficiently.

If you’re not fluent in Spanish, language barriers can be challenging. It’s highly recommended to bring someone who speaks Spanish with you or even hire a translator to assist with communication.
