What to do in an emergency 🚨

📞 Call 112

If you have a life-threatening emergency, call 112 (the European emergency number).

You may be connected to a doctor for a phone consult, or an ambulance will be sent.

Be ready to give your address, including your flat or house number.

🏥 Go to an emergency room

If you can make your own way to a hospital, there are public and private emergency rooms.

Public emergency rooms will treat you without requiring immediate payment. If you are not in the public health system, you’ll receive a bill that you can send to your insurance provider. EU citizens with an EHIC card are covered for public care.

Private emergency rooms require private insurance or payment.

The public system - CAPs

The public health service in Catalonia is called CatSalut. Services are generally free or low-cost if you have a health card (tarjeta sanitaria).

Public health centres are called Centros de Atención Primaria (CAPs), A CAP is the first place to go when you have a health problem.[1]
