Private Hospital with English speaking staff

Postby flora espana » Thu Apr 06, 2023 10:24 am

My son wants to come to Spain to pay for some elective surgery, but he doesn't speak any Spanish. Does anyone know of any private hospital that has English speaking staff?

Nearly all private hospitals will have English speaking staff, but not necessarily in the speciality he needs. Perhaps he would do better fixing up a good medical translator?

Not all the doctors and nurses are prepared to communicate in a foreign language, as if their own translation is wrong they can be sued!
Whilst costakid may be right, it is no use if the only English speaker is the chap on the car par pay point!

I've had a couple of ops in High Care also known as HC which is just north of San Pedro before Puerto Banus. It is a lovely hospital, smallish, rather like a 5 star hotel, in a pretty setting, with gardens, not in the centre of a big town. I think they cover most specialities.

Husband was in there but quite a few years ago it seemed very good. Most spoke good English. Peter is correct though, my GP would only do chit chat in English.
