Health Care
European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland:
If you or any of your dependants are suddenly taken ill or have an accident during a visit to an EEA country or Switzerland, free or reduced-cost necessary treatment is available – in most cases on production of a valid European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). Each country has different rules about state medical provision. In some, treatment is free. In many countries you will have to pay part or all of the cost, and then claim a full or partial refund. The EHIC gives access to state-provided medical treatment only and the scheme gives no entitlement to medical repatriation costs, nor does it cover ongoing illnesses of a non-urgent nature, so comprehensive travel insurance is advised. Note that the EHIC replaces the Form E111, which is no longer valid.
Gibraltar is a British Crown Colony; therefore, UK citizens are entitled to free treatment in public wards at St Bernard’s Hospital and at Casemates Health Center on presentation of a UK passport during stays of up to 30 days in the colony. Other EEA nationals are similarly entitled on presentation of a European Health Insurance Card. Under the Group Medical Scheme, treatment is free and available at the Primary Care Center, a small charge is payable for each medicine prescribed. The scheme applies to emergency cases but not dental treatment. Dental treatment must also be paid for but extractions are undertaken for a nominal charge at St Bernard’s Hospital during normal weekday working hours. Visitors are only eligible for treatment if their illness or condition arises during a short visit to Gibraltar.

Note
Passengers traveling from Gibraltar to Spain or Morocco are advised to refer to the Health sections for those countries.
