To see a doctor in an emergency, you can go to the emergency room at the nearest hospital and they will assess how serious your injury or illness is and admit you as time allows. If your injury is serious, but does not require immediate attention, it may take a while to be admitted. If you have a doctor you see regularly you might be able to be seen on short notice.

The American-British Cowdray (ABC) Hospital is at Calle Sur 136, at the corner of Avenida Observatorio, Col.
