Got a worrying message from my son who is a Spanish resident, and been living with hi family near Malaga for 8 years. While he was spending Christmas in Lisbon, he needed to attend a hospital following a dog bite. Apparently his U.K. EHIC has long since expired, and although he is a fully registered Spanish resident with full access to health care in Spain, he isn’t able to get an EHIC here to cover emergency health care while in the rest of the EU. Is there a way round this about from making sure he has the right travel insurance?
