Hi

Is there an English speaking doctor in the public health system in Garrucha or if not can we go to a private doctor and use our health cards to pay reduced price for medicines.

Thank you

Tony and Wendy Graham

Hi,

No.idea about Garrucha as live in Mojacar Playa.but with our GP in Puerto Lumbreras near our other property. The private GP.in Mojacar you pay for Consultation &/ prescription however you do not need a prescription to purchase a whole slew of medications directly OTC at any pharmacy. And usually at surprisingly low cost.

If you pm me your medications can confirm on Monday if available OTC.

Thank you for the offer but we have already been to a pharmacy and bought most of our medication and apart from one Asthma drug they were cheap, it is more important to find an English speaking Doctor as my wife had a Kidney Transplant 35 years ago and we are anxious not to have any misunderstanding with change of medication or advice.

Thank you

Hi Tony:

In the public health system In Garrucha there is a doctor called Maria José that speaks english.

If you have a private insurance there is one doctor in Garrucha, by the promanade, called José Manuel. Molina.

Good luck
