Where to Get Information

Your hotel; The Primary Care Centre, International Commercial Centre Building, Main Street; or the Gibraltar Health Authority, 17 Johnstone's Passage.

Doctors, Dentists & Prescriptions

Free treatment under the local Medical Scheme is available at the Health Centre. A nominal fee is payable for house calls. Show your UK passport. If you aren't a UK national, show your E111.

A small charge is made for each item of medicine prescribed under the scheme.

You'll have to pay the full cost of dental treatment, but - except at weekends and outside normal working hours - an emergency service is available at the Primary Care Centre for which only a nominal fee is charged.

Hospital Treatment

Free treatment in public wards is available at St Bernard's Hospital. NOTE: you'll be eligible for emergency treatment for illnesses that arise whilst in Gibraltar.

You won't be covered if you go to Gibraltar expressly for treatment of a condition that arose somewhere else, e.g. in Spain.

UK Pensioners

If you're a UK Pensioner and go to live in Gibraltar, you will be provided with any medical treatment you need by the Gibraltar authorities, without paying insurance contributions. You'll have to pay prescription charges.
