English-speaking support from the first step.
Costa Medical Services coordinates international patients accessing adult, paediatric and women’s urgent care at Hospital Quirónsalud Málaga.
Life-threatening emergency? Call 112 immediately.
Traffic dependent. The exact urgent-care entrance and directions are revealed after your pre-alert is sent.
If you are looking for an English-speaking hospital, emergency room, ER, Accident & Emergency (A&E) or 24-hour urgent care in Málaga, this managed international-patient pathway helps you choose the appropriate department and pre-alert the hospital before arrival.
Choose the route that best matches the patient. The clinical team will always determine the appropriate assessment and priority on arrival.
Immediate assessment for injuries, sudden illness, pain, breathing problems and other urgent concerns—24 hours a day.
Dedicated urgent assessment for babies, children and teenagers, with paediatric and neonatal support on site.
24-hour obstetric and gynaecological urgent care supported by maternity, neonatal and intensive care facilities.
To be supported through the Costa Medical Services International Patient Coordination pathway, send the Rapid Arrival pre-alert before travelling. It gives the hospital and our International Team your details in advance, confirms that you are on your way and helps reduce avoidable administrative delays on arrival. Clinical priority is always determined by medical need.
Send the essential information once so the hospital clinical team and the Costa Medical Services International Team know you are on your way and can prepare the coordinated arrival pathway.
Complete the details below before travelling. Once the pre-alert is sent successfully, the exact Urgencias entrance, directions and your Rapid Arrival Pass will appear on screen.
This pre-alert does not reserve an exact treatment time or override clinical triage.
For a life-threatening emergency, call 112.
Dr Ben Harry Clegg and the English-speaking coordination team help international patients understand what happens next—from choosing the appropriate route to communication, insurance coordination and follow-up where needed.
Published facilities include intensive care, operating theatres, advanced imaging and dedicated urgent-care teams.
