Frequently asked questions

How do I request an appointment with my general practitioner in Alicante?
In Alicante, medical appointments are managed through Sanitat Valenciana — Conselleria de Sanitat. You can make a request online at https://www.san.gva.es/es/web/sanitat-en-linea/cita-previa, call 900 010 024 or go to the counter of your local health center. You can also use the GVA+ Salut app (iOS and Android).
What is the difference between a general practitioner and emergency services?
A general practitioner (or family doctor) is your regular doctor for non-urgent consultations, ongoing illness follow-up, and specialist referrals. Emergency services are for situations that require immediate attention (severe pain, high fever, accident). Using emergency services for non-urgent issues can overwhelm the system.
What is the SIP card in the Community of Valencia?
The SIP (Population Information System) is the health card used in the Community of Valencia. It’s necessary to request an appointment and see a doctor. If you don’t have one or have lost it, apply for a new one at your local health center with your DNI or NIE and residence certificate.
Can I request an appointment for my family member?
Yes. You can make a request for a family member (minor children, elderly dependents) through the same channels. You will need their health card number.
How long do I have to wait to see my general practitioner?
For non-urgent cases, the typical waiting time is 1 to 3 working days depending on demand in your area. If it’s an urgent but not severe issue, you can request an appointment marked as 'urgent'.
