We had to help a lady on her own onsite with a medical problem where she had an abscess for 3 days, which was infected and affected her whole system,
Luckily she called us and we were able to get her treatment at the medical centre in Corvera which called the Centro de Salud, is open 24 hours a day, and on every occasion that we have used it they have been brilliant, they took her straight into a room and treated her and 5 hours later she is much better
This lady didn’t have any medical cover or The European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) allows access to state-provided healthcare in all EEA (European Economic Area) countries but the centre were great and didn’t ask but the centre manager told that all this changes on the 1st August when they are required to obtain this prior to treatment
Please if you are coming on holiday, if your friends and family are coming over, get an EHIC card, it’s free to apply online
www.applyehic.org and it gives you access to some great local treatment if you need it
The Corvera centre has its own ambulance and is actually the central hub for 6 other local centres
