Under The Weather If you do feel under the weather then your first port of call should be the local chemist (farmacia). All are very helpful and speak good English and they will usually advise a remedy, or if a visit to the doctor is necessary. They are easily noticeable with a green cross (usually illuminated) outside their premises. If you are covered by holiday or private insurance for medical treatment, one of the private surgeries is the place to go. Do keep all your receipts for medical treatment and medication to enable you to make an insurance claim on your return home. Make sure you take enough money with you, each visit will cost you between 60-75 euros. The National Health clinic (Insalud) is situated in Alcudia Old Town on the Carretera Formentor (close to the Hospital) and you can receive treatment there if you have a European Health Card (which has replaced the old E111). The telephone number of the National health clinic is 971 546 371 or 971 549 777. If you require an ambulance in an extreme emergency then ring the police on 092 or the Helpline on 112 and they will make the arrangements. You may well be asked to pay the cost of the ambulance when it arrives, so make sure you have some cash available.
