Frequently asked questions

How do I request an appointment with my primary care physician in Zamora?
In Zamora, you can request a medical appointment through Sacyl — Health of Castilla and León. You can do this online on https://www.saludcastillayleon.es/es/atencion-pacientes-usuarios/cita-previa, by calling 012 (healthcare option) or in person at the reception desk of your health center. Also, you can use the Salud CyL app (iOS and Android).
What is the difference between a primary care physician and emergencies?
A primary care physician (or family doctor) is your regular doctor for non-urgent consultations, chronic condition follow-up, and referrals to specialists. Emergencies are for situations that require immediate attention (severe pain, high fever, new concerning symptom). Using emergency services for non-emergent issues can overwhelm the system.
How do I access a doctor if I live in a small town in Castilla and León?
Rural municipalities in Castilla and León have periodic medical visits from traveling doctors (usually 1-3 times per week). Check your local schedule at the town hall or on the Sacyl website.
Can I request an appointment for a family member?
Yes. You can request appointments for family members (children under 18, 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 consultations, the typical waiting time is 1 to 3 working days depending on demand in your area. If it’s an urgent but not severe case, you can request it as 'urgent' during the appointment booking.
