Healthcare in Fuerteventura: what visitors and residents should know
How local care works in Fuerteventura and across Canary Islands, Spain — and where an online doctor fits alongside it.
Fuerteventura is served by the Servicio Canario de la Salud (SCS), the Canary Islands' regional health service, with Spanish the sole 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. Fuerteventura is the most sparsely populated of the main Canary Islands and the closest to the African coast, and its health provision is genuinely thin outside the main towns — from the resort areas of Corralejo, Costa Calma and Jandía, the nearest fully equipped urgencias department can be a long drive, and anything complex means transfer off the island by air. That combination of low population density and long internal distances makes remote assessment more useful here than on the busier islands. Fuerteventura is Europe's principal windsurfing and kitesurfing destination, which gives it a distinct year-round pattern of water-sport injuries, and its constant trade winds disguise sun exposure in the same way they do on Lanzarote.

Can I get Ozempic or Wegovy prescribed online in Spain?
Yes, our licensed doctors can prescribe GLP-1 medications like semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) if you meet the clinical criteria (typically BMI ≥ 30, or ≥ 27 with weight-related conditions). However, please note that pharmacy stock levels in Spain can fluctuate.
Do I need blood tests before starting weight loss medication?
Depending on your medical history and the specific medication, our doctors may require recent blood work (like thyroid function, HbA1c, or lipid panels) before prescribing. We can provide a lab requisition if needed.
How much do GLP-1 medications cost in Spain?
The cost of the medication at the pharmacy is separate from our consultation fee. In Spain, GLP-1 medications typically range from €130 to €300 per month when purchased privately without public health system subsidies.
Is this a one-time consultation or an ongoing program?
Medical weight loss requires ongoing monitoring. We typically prescribe a 1-month starting dose and require follow-up consultations to monitor your progress, manage side effects, and adjust dosages safely.
What if the pharmacy doesn't have the medication in stock?
Due to global demand, some GLP-1 medications experience shortages. If your prescribed medication is out of stock, our doctors can consult with you to find an available alternative.
