Frequently asked questions

How do I request an appointment with my family doctor in Elche?
In Elche, medical appointments are managed through Sanitat Valenciana — Ministry of Health. You can make a reservation online on https://www.san.gva.es/es/web/sanitat-en-linea/cita-previa, call 900 010 024 or visit the counter at your health center. You can also use the GVA+ Salud app (iOS and Android).
What is the difference between a family doctor and emergency services?
The family doctor (or general practitioner) is your usual doctor for non-emergency consultations, follow-up of chronic conditions, and referrals to specialists. Emergency services are for situations that require immediate attention (acute pain, high fever, accident). Using emergency services for non-urgent issues overloads the system.
What is the SIP card in the Community of Valencia?
The SIP (Population Information System) is the health card of the Community of Valencia. It is necessary to make an appointment and see a doctor. If you do not have one or have lost it, request a new one at your local health center with DNI or NIE and the residency certificate.
Can I request an appointment for a family member?
Yes. You can request appointments for family members (minor children, 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 family doctor?
For non-emergency cases, the usual waiting time is 1 to 3 business days depending on demand in your area. If the reason is urgent but not severe enough for emergency services, you can request it as 'urgent' during the appointment booking.
