If he doesn't have any insurance or the EHIC He will need to visit the local private clinic if he thinks he will need a doctors advise otherwise a Farmacia might suggest a treatment. Either way, ask a translator to accompany him. Owning property here does not give any rights whatsoever.

Hello

No private health care here is cheap. As Steve said a private health clinic somewhere near his area is the 1st suggestion. If he feels really ill, then the private hospital is another suggestion,.....Here is the link      https://www.quironsalud.es/torrevieja /en   

You could call for advice but they will want his credit card details before any consultation .

If he thinks it is Covid 19 related, there is a number........Stay at home & call...900400061 or 112 in an emergency.   Good Luck

Cheers
