Frequently asked questions

How do I request an appointment with my family doctor in Málaga?
In Málaga, you can manage your medical appointments through SAS — Andalusian Health Service. You can request them online at https://www.sspa.juntadeandalucia.es/servicioandaluzdesalud/ciudadanos/cita-sanitaria-online, by calling 955 54 50 60 or in person at the reception desk of your Health Center. You can also use the Salud Andalucía app (iOS and Android).
What is the difference between a family doctor and emergency services?
The family doctor (or general practitioner) is your regular doctor for non-urgent consultations, chronic condition follow-ups, and referrals to specialists. Emergency services are for situations that require immediate attention (sudden pain, high fever, accident). Using emergency services 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 do this at the reception desk of your Health Center or through the SAS portal by providing your health card and DNI.
Can I request an appointment for a family member?
Yes. You can request appointments for family members (children under 18, older people you are responsible for) using the same channels. You will need their health card number.
How long do I have to wait to see my family doctor?
For non-urgent consultations, the typical waiting time is 1 to 3 business days depending on demand in your area. If it's an urgent matter but not severe enough for emergency care, you can request it as 'urgent' during the appointment booking.
