Quick answers

Before you travel to the hospital

Where can I find an English-speaking emergency room in Málaga?

Costa Medical Services coordinates international-patient access to the 24-hour emergency departments at the main Hospital Quirónsalud Málaga. Many clinicians speak English, and English-speaking staff are available to support coordination when language assistance is needed.

Is the ER, A&E and urgent care department open 24 hours?

Yes. Adult, paediatric and obstetric or gynaecological urgent care are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year at the main hospital. In a life-threatening emergency in Spain, call 112 immediately.

Does the rapid-arrival form book an emergency-room appointment?

No. It pre-alerts the authorised administrative teams and helps them recognise the managed international-patient pathway. The hospital assesses and prioritises every urgent patient according to clinical need.

Can international patients use travel insurance or attend privately?

Yes. International insurance information can be coordinated, subject to policy authorisation. Patients without applicable cover can attend as private self-paying patients under the hospital’s payment process.
