Frequently asked questions

How do I request an appointment with my primary care physician in Girona?
In Girona, medical appointments are managed through CatSalut — Servei Català de la Salut. You can make a reservation online at https://catsalut.gencat.cat/ca/cita-previa/, by calling 061 or visiting the reception desk of your Health Center. You can also use the CatSalut Respon app (iOS and Android).
What is the difference between a primary care physician and an emergency service?
A primary care physician (or family doctor) is your regular doctor for non-urgent consultations, chronic condition follow-up, and referrals to specialists. Emergency services are for situations that require immediate attention (severe pain, high fever, new concerning symptom). Using the emergency room for non-urgent issues overwhelms the system.
What is the 061 of CatSalut?
The 061 line of CatSalut is Catalonia’s health care helpline, available 24/7. You can use it for medical advice, drug information, and appointment requests. It’s not just for emergencies.
Can I request an appointment for a family member?
Yes. You can request an appointment for a family member (children under 18, elderly dependents) through the same channels. You will need their 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 between 1 and 3 business days depending on demand in your area. If it’s an urgent but not severe case, you can request an appointment as 'urgent'.
