Frequently asked questions

How do I request an appointment with my family doctor in Mahón-Maó?
In Mahón-Maó, your appointment is managed through IB-Salut — Health Service of the Balearic Islands. You can request it online at https://www.ibsalut.es/, by calling 871 20 50 50 or visiting the counter of your local Health Center. You can also use the IB-Salut app (iOS and Android).
What is the difference between a family doctor and emergency services?
A family doctor (or general practitioner) is your regular doctor for non-urgent consultations, follow-up of chronic illnesses, and referrals to specialists. Emergency services are for situations that require immediate attention (severe pain, high fever, accident). Using emergency services for non-emergencies can overload the system.
How does healthcare work on Formentera and the smaller islands in the Balearics?
Formentera has its own health center in Sant Francesc Xavier. For specialities not available on the island, patients are referred to Ibiza or Mallorca with transportation covered by IB-Salut. The smaller islands have a 24-hour doctor-on-call service.
Can I request an appointment for a family member?
Yes. You can request an appointment for a family member (children, elderly in care) through 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 cases, the typical waiting time is 1 to 3 business days depending on demand in your area. If it is urgent but not severe enough for emergency, you can request it as 'urgent' when booking.
