Booking an appointment with the doctors is very simple here on the Orihuela Costa thanks to a simple automated telephone system.

Don't trip down to the health centre and stand in a queue just call the number given below and follow the simple instructions.

The system is automated and is available in several languages. Enter the numbers on the telephone keypad corresponding to the language required and then enter your SIP card number in a similar fashion. The next available appointment will then be read out to you and you have the option to confirm this or choose a different date/time. Once you have confirmed your appointment you can hang up and that's it. Turn up at the health centre, go to the consulting room you normally visit or if its your first visit just look up your name on the lists on the consulting room doors at the appropriate time and you will see your name listed.

Appointments are normally on time but expect some short delays when they are busy.

The telephone number for appointments at the Cabo Roig/Campoamor Health Centre is: 965 721 400
