Not sure when to call Helicopteros Sanitarios? You’re not alone. Many of our members wonder if their situation is “serious enough” to get in touch—and the answer is: if you’re unsure, it’s always better to call.
In this article, we’ll explain exactly when you should reach out to us, how our Home Doctor Service works, and what kind of support is included in your membership. Whether you’re dealing with something small like a cough or something more urgent like a stroke, our team is here to give you peace of mind—right at home or in one of our local clinics.
What’s Included in the Service?
When you’re a member of Helicopteros Sanitarios, you have access to a full support system for your health, without the stress of figuring out where to go or who to call. The service includes home visits from a GP whenever you need one, whether it’s for something routine or something that suddenly doesn’t feel right. You can also visit one of our clinics located in Puerto Banús, Manilva, or Fuengirola if you prefer to be seen there.
And it’s not just about general care. The membership covers emergency medical care at home too—so if something serious happens, like a stroke, difficulty breathing, or a bad fall, our emergency team can be at your door quickly. We also respond to other emergencies like car accidents in the area of the Costa del Sol.
If needed, we can provide ambulance transport to one of our own clinics or to any other clinic or hospital on the Costa del Sol. So whether you need a doctor at home or a safe ride to a medical center, you’re covered.
