Healthcare in Tenerife: what visitors and residents should know
How local care works in Tenerife and across Canary Islands, Spain — and where an online doctor fits alongside it.
Tenerife's public healthcare is delivered by the Servicio Canario de la Salud (SCS), the Canary Islands' regional health service. Spanish is the only official language — the Canaries have no co-official regional language, unlike Catalonia, Valencia or the Basque Country. 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. Tenerife's defining feature for healthcare is that it is an Atlantic island roughly 1,300 km from mainland Spain and closer to Africa than to Europe: repatriation and onward transfer are flights, not drives, and are slower and costlier to arrange than from the mainland. The island's tourism is genuinely year-round rather than summer-concentrated, which means a steady twelve-month load and a large population of long-staying winter visitors, many of them older and managing ongoing conditions. Tenerife also spans an unusual altitude range up to Teide at 3,715 m, and visitors ascending from sea level in a single morning occasionally meet altitude effects they had not anticipated.

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.
