• Public Healthcare System: You will be treated free of charge:

- If you come from an EU country, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland or Liechtenstein and upon showing the European Health Insurance Card.

- If you come from a country with a current bilateral agreement with Spain, such as Andorra, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Paraguay or Peru. In this case you will have to ask for a family doctor at the nearest public health centre to your home address in Granada, during the first few days after your arrival in Spain and prove that you have the right to medical care in your home country. More information on the Spanish Social Security website:http://www.segsocial.es/Internet_6/Masinformacion/Internacional/index.htm

- If you work in Spain and you have been registered in the Spanish Social Security System.

Important: In every case, you must present your ID card or passport.

• Private Healthcare System:

- If you come from a non-EU country and there is no bilateral agreement between your country and the Spanish Social Security System you must take out your own private health insurance. In this case, if you need medical attention during your stay in Granada, you must provide the official documents from your health insurance policy. Before visiting your doctor, call the number that appears on your insurance policy. During the call you will be asked for your identification number and your policy details. The insurance company should inform you about the medical clinics where you can receive medical care in Granada. In general there are two hospitals or clinics in Granada that have an agreement with private insurance companies:

Nuestra Señora de la Salud: Avenida Santa María de la Alhambra 6, 1808 Granada. Tlf.: + 34 958 80 88 80

Clínica de la Inmaculada: C/ Doctor Alejandro Otero, 8, 18004 Granada. Tlf.: + 34 958 25 05 23

In line with the regulations of the National Health System, urgent medical attention is guaranteed 24/7, 365 days a year to everyone in any hospital. In the event that you should require an ambulance, you must call the Emergency Phone Number in Spain (and all EU countries): 112.
