Online Medical Advice, Anywhere in Spain
Describing symptoms in Spanish is hard when you feel fine. It is harder when you do not.

Local Care, or a Video Doctor First?
Spain has state and private healthcare, and some problems need to be seen in person. A video consultation is the quicker first step when you are not sure which this is.
What FCDO says about local care
- state healthcare for visitors needs a GHIC or EHIC
- some hotels call private doctors, and private hospitals do not accept the GHIC or EHIC
- in some tourist areas there may be no public healthcare facility nearby
- FCDO keeps a list of providers in Spain where some staff speak English
If a doctor needs to examine you, take a swab or run a test, in-person care is the right answer, and a consultation will tell you so.
What an online doctor gives you
- an assessment by video from wherever you are staying, with no travel
- the whole consultation in English
- a fixed €40, known before you start
- a clear answer on whether you need to be seen in person at all
Pomodoc connects you with an English-speaking doctor by video, licensed to treat you in Spain, for €40 per consultation. Fixed price, no surprises.
Not sure it is a video problem? That is a fair first question to put to the doctor.

More About Online Doctors in Spain
Who an online doctor in Spain is for
Visitors, holidaymakers and anyone staying in Spain for a while who wants a doctor's view on a non-emergency problem, in English, without first working out where to go.
Typical reasons are a stomach upset, a sore throat, an ear or eye problem, a rash, a urinary symptom or a fever that is not settling.
The islands are included
Spain here means the whole country: the mainland, the Canary Islands (Tenerife, Gran Canaria, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura) and the Balearics (Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, Formentera).
Choose Spain in the booking form wherever you are staying.
GHIC, EHIC and travel insurance
FCDO says you need a GHIC or EHIC for medically necessary state healthcare in Spain, that the card is not accepted in private hospitals, and that it is not an alternative to travel insurance.
None of that applies to a Pomodoc consultation: you pay €40 directly and no card, insurer or Spanish registration is involved. It is also not insurance, and does not cover hospital treatment or getting home.
Words that help at the counter or on the phone
| In Spanish | What it means |
|---|---|
| un médico | a doctor |
| urgencias | the emergency department |
| necesito un médico | I need a doctor |
| me duele aquí | it hurts here |
| tengo fiebre | I have a fever |
| ¿Habla inglés? | Do you speak English? |
If you would rather say it all in English, that is what the video consultation is for.

What should I do in a medical emergency in Spain?
Call 112 and ask for an ambulance. It is free from any phone. Chest pain, difficulty breathing, sudden weakness or confusion, heavy bleeding or someone who will not wake properly are emergencies, not video consultations.

When is an online doctor not the right choice?
In an emergency, call 112. And when a doctor needs to examine you, take a swab or run a test, you need to be seen in person. If that is the case, the doctor will tell you.
