Think you would be wise to use an Interpreter. It would be a shame not to discuss your case & be summarily informed.to make another apt.

Please do ring our interpreter, Mari Angui, on +34666681266. Tell her Marion recommended you. She is excellent and puts you at your ease. Her speciality is all things medical and she is always back and forth to Huercal Overa.

If you utilise an interpreter from say Mojacar you also.pay travelling time so probably adding 20€ to fee which.us usually 10€/hr.

Remember to check on fees, RV arrangements, etc.

Could anyone tell me if the nearest hospital to Mojacar in Huercal Overa or is there any closer ones. We are going to be paying private as taking early retirement or as private does this mean we have to use different hospitals that may be further away. I would really not mind using the public hospital private or not I just want to know that there is one not to far away.

Thanks

JanIan

Hi,

Yes it's Huercal Overa.

One of the recurring complaints about Private Healthcare Cos is that the stipulate the Hospital, etc. Numerous mentions of needing to go to Almeria City.

This is something you will need to check with the various providers.
