Sick Leave Certificate in Granada
When you're too ill to work, your employer may require a medical certificate (sick note). Our doctors can evaluate your symptoms and provide a certificate for short-term absence from work. Whether you're a tourist visiting Granada, an expat living in Andalusia, or a resident needing quick access to a medical certificate, our online doctors can help you get the sick leave certificate you need.
Healthcare in Granada: what visitors and residents should know
How local care works in Granada and across Andalusia, Spain — and where an online doctor fits alongside it.
Granada comes under the Servicio Andaluz de Salud (SAS), Andalusia's regional health service; Spanish is the only official language. State healthcare is run at regional level, so the rules you meet depend on where you are rather than on Spain as a whole. EU, EEA and Swiss visitors holding an EHIC (or a UK GHIC) can use public primary care and emergency departments on the same terms as residents, though you will normally be asked for the card plus photo ID at reception. Outside surgery hours, pharmacies operate a rota — the farmacia de guardia — and the duty pharmacy is posted in the window of every closed chemist. Granada's health profile is shaped by two things no other Andalusian city shares. First, the Sierra Nevada ski resort sits within an hour of the centre and is the southernmost in Europe, giving the city a winter season of ski and snowboard injuries alongside altitude-related complaints — a pattern quite unlike coastal Andalusia. Second, the University of Granada hosts one of the largest Erasmus and international student populations in Spain, a group that typically arrives without a local doctor, needs contraception and repeat prescriptions, and is unfamiliar with how to register at a centro de salud. The city itself sits at around 680 metres inland, so summers are hot and dry while winters are genuinely cold by Spanish standards.
