In Portugal the national emergency number is 112 which is common to all European countries. That service will coordinate assistance to any emergency.
The main public hospital is located 1,2 km (walking) from us. Of course, in case of emergency ambulances will be available but you can also call an Uber to pick you up and drop you in the hospital.
For health situations which don’t demand urgent attention, you can use a number of private clinics. We would favor the two clinics of the group Lusíadas: one in Fórum Algarve, the shopping center (check it here) and in the other by the Municipal Market, so, walking distance from us (check it here).
There is also a private hospital – Hospital Particular das Gambelas – located in the airport’s area. Check their website (includes other hospitals and clinics in Algarve). You can also get tested for COVID-19 at this hospital buy you will need to call in advance to book the test.
Above all, don’t forget to ask us for help whenever you feel the need. We will always be here for you, really. Don’t be shy 🙂
