Mojacar council supporting convenio especial healthcare payment scheme for foreign nationals

An arrangement with the Andalusian public health service means foreign residents who have lived in the Spanish region for at least a year will be able to sign up for healthcare

European or British nationals who lost their right to public healthcare in Spain due to Brexit or other situations and citizens from other countries not eligible for free healthcare here  can still have access to the public healthcare system in the Andalucía region as there is an agreement in place so they can pay for basic GP and medical services under the convenio especial.

Mojacar council has published a leaflet with details of the scheme, which expats who are registered on a ‘padrón’ (residents register) anywhere in Andalusia and can prove that they have lived here for at least a year can apply to join.

For 60 euros a month for those aged under 65 or 157 euros a month for anyone over 65, expats will receive basic healthcare services and emergency medical transport.

Those interested can book an appointment with the healthcare social worker at their nearest health centre via the numbers below to learn more about the scheme but are advised to take an interpreter unless they speak fluent Spanish.

Garrucha: 950 451 571 / 950 451 579 / 600 142 034
Mojacar Playa: 650 451 630
Mojacar Pueblo: 950 451 601

This information was published by the council in Mojacar, but anyone interested in the scheme and living elsewhere in the region can find information at their local health centre.
