Directions to the local clinics – Euroklinik and Poliklinik listed below:
Leave Faro Park and head towards the main road into Playa Blanca. Drive past
the Rubicon Hotel and over the next two roundabouts. Turn right at the next
roundabout. You will know that this is the correct roundabout because apart
from going straight over you can only turn right here. If you are familiar with
the area you will now be heading towards the port and Spar supermarket.
Carry straight on and the road will start to curve left and you will see some
commercial units on your right. The clinics can be identified as „Klinik‟. If you
get to the Spar supermarket, you have gone past the clinics.

The European Economic Area (EEA) consists of the 15 member states of the
European Community plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. If you or any
of your dependants are suddenly taken ill or have an accident during a visit to
any of these countries, free or reduced-cost emergency treatment is available –
in most cases on production of a valid EHIC. Only state-provided emergency
treatment is covered, and you will receive treatment on the same terms as
nationals of the country you are visiting. Private treatment is generally not
covered, and state-provided treatment may not cover all of the things that you
would expect to receive free of charge from the NHS. You may have to make a
contribution to the cost of your care.
Obtaining An European Health Insurance Card (EHIC)
The EHIC has replaced the old E111. From 1 January 2006, E111‟s are no longer
valid. The quickest and easiest way to get an EHIC is to apply online at
www.ehic.org.uk Another way is to telephone [phone] or go to any main
post office for the relevant application form. Keep it safe, preferably with your
passport, and carry it with you when travelling within the EEA.
