Vithas Alicante and Vithas Medimar hospitals have strengthened their year-round international patient care model.

In order to offer peace of mind and safety to the thousands of travellers visiting the Costa Blanca, the hospital group provides comprehensive healthcare coverage that combines a 24-hour multilingual helpline with taxi or ambulance transfers to A&E from hotels, holiday apartments, and cruise ships.

 24/7 helpline and foreign insurance management.

Any tourist experiencing a health issue can contact the international care service at any time of day.

Administrative staff manage documentation directly with major international and travel insurance companies, processing authorisations so that patients do not have to pay upfront costs for their treatment.

Furthermore, direct coordination is maintained with the crews and medical teams of vessels docking at the Port of Alicante, streamlining doctor appointments and ensuring priority hospital admission for passengers or crew requiring urgent diagnostic tests.

Ambulance transfers to the emergency departments at Vithas Alicante or Vithas Medimar are also coordinated, where foreign patients enter a priority triage pathway accompanied by an interpreter from the moment they arrive.

This comprehensive model ensures that both the hotel sector and Alicante’s thriving cruise industry benefit from top-tier healthcare support, helping to position the province as a safe holiday destination tailored to the global needs of its visitors.
