Frequently asked questions

How do I request an appointment with my family doctor in Jaén?
In Jaén, your appointment with a primary care physician is managed through the SAS — Andalusian Health Service. You can request it online at https://www.sspa.juntadeandalucia.es/servicioandaluzdesalud/ciudadanos/cita-sanitaria-online, by calling 955 54 50 60 or going to your health center's front desk. You can also use the Salud Andalucía app (iOS and Android).
What is the difference between a family doctor and an emergency room?
The family doctor (or primary care physician) is your regular doctor for non-urgent consultations, chronic disease follow-up, and referrals to specialists. The emergency room is for situations that require immediate attention (severe pain, high fever, accident). Using the emergency room for non-urgent issues can overwhelm the system.
Can I change my family doctor in Andalusia?
Yes. In Andalusia you have the right to choose your family doctor and pediatrician within those available in your health zone. You can request this at the front desk of your health center or through the SAS portal by providing your health card and ID.
Can I request an appointment for a relative?
Yes. You can request an appointment for a relative (underage children, elderly under care) using the same channels. You will need the number of their health card.
How long do I have to wait to see my family doctor?
For non-urgent consultations, the usual waiting time is 1 to 3 business days depending on demand in your area. If it's urgent but not severe enough for the emergency room, you can request it as 'urgent' during the appointment.
