Frequently asked questions

How do I request a doctor's appointment in Almería?
In Almería, the doctor's appointment is managed through the SAS — Andalusian Health Service. You can request it online on https://www.sspa.juntadeandalucia.es/servicioandaluzdesalud/ciudadanos/cita-sanitaria-online, by calling 955 54 50 60, or by visiting the reception desk of your Health Center. You can also use the Salud Andalusia app (iOS and Android).
What is the difference between the primary care physician and the emergency room?
The primary care physician (or family doctor) is your regular doctor for non-urgent cases, follow-up of chronic diseases, and referrals to specialists. The emergency room is for situations that require immediate attention (acute pain, high fever, new concerning symptom). Using the emergency room for non-urgent cases overloads the system.
Can I change my primary care physician in Andalusia?
Yes. In Andalusia, you have the right to choose your primary care physician and pediatrician within those available in your health area. You can request it at the reception desk of your Health Center or through the SAS portal, providing your health card and ID.
Can I request an appointment for a family member?
Yes. You can request an appointment for a family member (minor children, elderly dependents) through the same channels. You will need the family member's health card number.
How long do I have to wait to see my primary care physician?
For non-urgent cases, the usual waiting time is 1 to 5 working days, depending on the demand in your area. If the reason is urgent but not severe enough to go to the emergency room, you can request it as "urgent" in the appointment request.
