Healthcare problems

Hi

I am sorry that your partner is ill. About 3 years ago while on holiday in Fuengirola, my father became very ill. We had a private doctor come out and he sent us to a local hospital and after a few hours, he was sent to Marbella hospital by ambulance. They were very good there (Marbella hospital ). I would advise you to go there if possible. I don't know if that is the hospital that you were thinking of going to or not. 

I hope he gets well soon.Take care,

Sandra 

Hopefully you've sorted things by now but if not get a taxi to the Costa Del Sol hospital on the outskirts of Marbella http://www.hospitalcostadelsol.com/ ....its the equivalent of an NHS hospital with a 24 hour A & E....they are very good. If you don't speak Spanish it would be helpful to take a Spanish speaker with you but if you can't you can't.

If you have travel or medical insurance call your insurance company as they may well send you to a private hospital in Estepona depending on the cover that you have.

If all else fails, plenty of liquids for starters of the isotonic variety, he needs to stay hydrated......even a mild infection gets much much worse very quickly once dehydration sets in so keep those fluids going.

Finally, another option is an English doctor based in Estepona.....obviously you have to pay but nevertheless.....he's here: http://doctorfurness.com/

Good luck and I hope that helps....
