Hi Bernie
I have recently purchased in Villamartin
My next door neighbour's husband has to have kidney dialysis every day and said the health care was great particularly when they had a problem with the machine they were using as help was swiftly available
Unfortunately I can't give you any specific information but there is a doctor located in the Villamartin Plaza - you cant miss it as the surgery faces the road opposite the taxi rank - might be a place to start
Hope this help

Thanks Maggie, are your neighbours retired so entitled to healthcare? It's the gap until officially retired that worries me x

Hi
We are in the same situation as you. We haven't moved over yet, but it will be before retirement age. I think you have to pay private healthcare for a year. You can then apply to pay into the Spanish healthcare system once you been resident for a year.
Something like that anyway. We will cross that bridge when we are closer to moving. Can't wait though 😃
