Healthcare in Coimbra: what visitors and residents should know
How local care works in Coimbra and across Centro, Portugal — and where an online doctor fits alongside it.
Coimbra is served by ULS de Coimbra, formed in the 2024 reorganisation around the city's university hospital centre together with the surrounding health centres. Portugal restructured its health service on 1 January 2024: the five regional health administrations (ARS) were dissolved and replaced by 39 Unidades Locais de Saúde (ULS), each combining hospitals and health centres under one management. For non-emergency symptoms the national triage line SNS 24 (808 24 24 24) assesses you by phone and directs you to self-care, a health centre or an emergency department. EHIC and UK GHIC holders access state care on resident terms. Out of hours, pharmacies run a rota — the farmácia de serviço — posted at every closed pharmacy. Coimbra is Portugal's principal medical and academic city: the University of Coimbra dates from 1290 and the city has long been the country's centre of medical training and tertiary referral, so specialist provision here is unusually deep for a city of its size and patients are referred in from across central Portugal. The flip side is a large transient student and international-exchange population — arriving each autumn, unregistered, needing contraception, repeat prescriptions and mental-health support in a second language. The city sits inland on the Mondego between Lisbon and Porto, so it is a common stopping point for travellers moving between the two, and its academic calendar rather than the tourist season drives the rhythm of demand.

Can UTIs be diagnosed without a urine test?

How quickly will I feel better after starting antibiotics?
Most people notice improvement within 24-48 hours of starting antibiotics. It's important to complete the full course even if you feel better to ensure the infection is fully cleared.
I keep getting UTIs—can you help with prevention?
Yes, our doctors can discuss preventive strategies and, in some cases, prescribe prophylactic treatment. We may recommend follow-up care or testing for recurrent UTIs.
Can men get UTI treatment online?
UTIs in men are less common and often indicate an underlying issue requiring in-person examination. We recommend men with UTI symptoms see a doctor in person for proper evaluation.
What if my symptoms don't improve with antibiotics?
If symptoms persist after 48 hours or worsen, contact us for follow-up. You may need a different antibiotic or further evaluation to rule out a resistant infection or other conditions.
