Private healthcare for people in the Algarve

Care in Monaco, our nearest city to the Algarve

Monaco is the closest of our cities to the Algarve. Appointments there are arranged with the best clinics in the city and followed by your concierge, with private GP from €330, doctor at your home or hotel from €350 and executive health from €4,400.

Members are seen first, and anyone can request an appointment today. Your results and your plan stay in one record, so a doctor in London begins where a doctor in Monaco left off.

Care in London for people from the Algarve

Our clinics are on Baker Street in Marylebone and Eccleston Street in Belgravia, open from early morning to evening every day. A GP appointment is £150, a doctor to your hotel is £450, and the executive physical, a full day with one physician and every result reviewed before you leave, is £2,995.

Your concierge arranges specialists, scans and tests around the days you are in London, so a short visit holds everything you came for.

Travelling to London for care

Holders of a passport from Portugal can apply for an electronic travel authorisation, which costs £20 and allows a visit of up to 6 months [1] [2]. Medical treatment is among the reasons a visitor may come [3].

Health care in the Algarve

Portugal's Constitution gives everyone the right to the protection of health, fulfilled through a universal and general national health service that shall tend to be free of charge [4].

The Order of Physicians is the public professional association that represents all of Portugal's doctors, and it publishes the list of doctors registered with it [5].

The Algarve counted 467,343 residents at the 2021 census, according to Statistics Portugal [6].

Arranging a visit from the Algarve

Message your concierge on WhatsApp or request an appointment here, and tell us the dates you can travel and the question you most want answered. We reply within the hour, at any time of day in the Algarve, and propose appointment times before you book a flight.

Where a visit includes scans or blood tests, we set them early in your stay, so that your doctor can go through every result with you before you leave. Specialist appointments are arranged on the days around it, and each fee is told to you before anything is confirmed.

Time zones and travel

Tell us your time zone and we schedule calls with your doctor at an hour that suits you in the Algarve. After a long flight, a first appointment the following morning tends to work better than one on the day you land, and your concierge can plan around that.

Before you travel, a checklist

A little preparation lets a doctor see the whole picture on the first day.

• Your recent results and letters, in English where you can, on your phone or on paper
• A list of your medicines and their doses, with a letter from your doctor for any that are restricted
• The question you most want answered, written down
• The dates you are in the city, so your concierge can plan tests and results around them

When you are home again

Your doctor can follow up by telephone or video wherever you are, and your plan stays in your record. If you need care where you live, your concierge can help you find it and send your letters ahead, with your consent.

Every letter is written in English, so a doctor in the Algarve can read it, and your results stay available to you after you fly home. When you next travel, your doctor begins from where you left off.
