A Foreigner’s Trip to HLA Moncloa Hospital


I came to Madrid because I joined a study abroad program and I wanted to explore Spain and Europe. I didn’t know a lot about the Spanish Healthcare system, but I had heard that almost any kind of medical assistance could be covered and that the public healthcare system was very good. Unfortunately, I got very ill on a trip with abroad with some friends and I needed to see a doctor to help with fever and body pains.

I knew that I could call 112 and get help from the emergency services, but as I am not a European citizen I was worried that I would have some trouble with my insurance. I was also afraid about the language barrier since I do not speak Spanish very well. A friend of mine from university recommend that I reach out to Citylife Madrid for advice and they recommended that I visit the Hospital Universitario HLA Moncloa. It was a private hospital, but they have an international patient assistance department, and my insurance was accepted right away. The department’s staff also speak English and helped me communicate with the doctor throughout the entire process.

Once I was better and ready to leave the hospital I was given a business card with a 24/7 emergency phone number which I could use to contact the staff at the HLA Moncloa Hospital any time I needed insurance. They told me it can be used to help fill prescriptions, to call a doctor to my home, appointments with radiology and with lab tachs. Basically, any kind of specialty I might need in the future. What’s even better is that it’s all covered by my insurance!

Coming to Spain and having the peace of mind of having my health in good hands really reassured me for the rest of my stay and adding more Spanish experiences!
