This company has more than 25 years’ experience in healthcare. They have based their success on a professional approach, consistency and a passion for what they do. They provide more than 250 professionals, both in primary care and emergency treatment for members, as well as all types of medical specialities in their three clinics on the Costa del Sol: the hospitals in Puerto Banús, Fuengirola and Manilva.

A home doctor service is the main speciality of this company. Membership can be used in three ways: 24-hour home doctor service, 24-hour doctor at your facilities and a 24-hour service outside of your home but within our coverage area, which stretches from La Alcaidesa to Torremolinos.

Helicópteros Sanitarios is not a private insurance, rather the perfect complement to a private insurance policy. When you call to request external assistance, a team made up of a doctor, a technician and a nurse will always attend the call. You can call for any incident: a cut, a simple headache, because you spent the night with gastroenteritis, your back hurts, you fell, or you feel on the verge of a heart attack. You can call for any reason, which is why it is categorised as primary health care.

Operation
Once you call our 24-hour telephone line, a medical team will travel to the address given and examine the patient. This person can be transferred to the hospital if the doctor deems it necessary, or they can be referred to another specialist. The attending doctor will notify which specialist you need to seek an appointment with for further treatment.

However, the care service does not end there. Now, we offer the chance to continue the treatment in our new advanced-technology hospital, which has come about due to popular demand by our members who wish to continue receiving attention by the team of Helicópteros Sanitarios. As a result, the founder, María José Cañete, decided to build a hospital. It boasts 12 rooms, a scanner, a CT scanner, two surgical areas, and is suitable for performing any type of intervention.

Entre sus Departamentos, destacan el de Traumatología y el de Dermatología, que es muy demandado, sobre todo por los extranjeros que juegan al golf y tienen por tanto sus pieles expuestas al sol durante muchas horas.

Among the many Departments, the Trauma and Dermatology Units stand out. The latter is in high demand, especially by foreign visitors who play golf and spend a lot of time with their skin exposed to the sun.

It also offers more than 30 other medical specialities, including aesthetic surgery, dental medicine, gynaecology, and internal medicine. In addition, they are specialists in medical check-ups and the most advanced diagnostic tests which can be specially tailored to each patient’s needs.
