Frequently asked questions

How do I request an appointment with my general practitioner in Santiago de Compostela?
In Santiago de Compostela, appointments are managed through SERGAS — Servizo Galego de Saúde. You can request one online at https://www.sergas.es/A-nosa-organizacion/Cita-medica, by calling 900 400 116 or in person at the reception desk of your Health Center. You can also use the Sergas Móbil app (iOS and Android).
What is the difference between a general practitioner and emergencies?
A general practitioner (or family doctor) is your regular physician for non-urgent consultations, chronic disease follow-up, and referrals to specialists. Emergencies are for situations that require immediate attention (acute pain, high fever, new worrying symptom). Using emergencies for non-urgent issues overloads the system.
Can I request an appointment in Galician with SERGAS?
Yes. SERGAS offers full service in both Galician and Castilian, whether at health centers or through digital channels. The Sergas Móbil app and website are available in the two official languages of Galicia.
Can I request an appointment for a family member?
Yes. You can request an appointment for a family member (children, elderly dependents) via 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 consultations, 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 emergencies, you can request it as 'urgent' during booking.
