    Hello,

    How do you get medical treatment in Spain when you need it? Is care similar, or very different from where you are from?

    Do you need to register with a local doctor (GP)? Is it easy and quick when you need to see a doctor?

    What is the cost (drugs, treatment, reimbursement…)? Is there a long delay?

    Where do you buy your medicine in Spain? Are pharmacies all the same? Are most drugs over-the-counter, or prescription?

    How does the hospital system work? What are the main differences between private and public care? Do you need/do you recommend private health insurance in Spain?

    Please share your experiences so new/future expats can prepare. Thanks in advance for you tips and advice!

    Hi,

    My name is Dr. Joan Melendez-Munoz.

    I am a Spanish UK-trained Obs&Gynae Specialist.

    I just returned to Spain after 12 years living abroad and I am setting up my practice in Girona.

    I’ve worked over 9 years in London and I just came back from a 2 year fellowship in Melbourne, Australia.

    I understand how daring or difficult can be to visit a doctor who does not speak your language fluently and therefore does not fully understand your symptoms, your complaints... It can be very frustrating.

    I would like to offer my assistance to any English speaking person living in Spain who may require an Obs&Gynae Specialist.

    Please let me know if there’s a way I can help.

    Kind Regards
