Hospitals in Seville

For serious, potentially life-threatening issues that require immediate, specialized treatment, like breathing difficulties, severe bleeding, or head injuries. Non-urgent visits use up resources needed for emergency patients. ERs are for serious, life-threatening issues. Going there for something like shingles adds to doctors’ workload and may take time away from those in critical need.

Pharmacies in Seville, Spain

In Seville, pharmacies are commonly referred to as “farmacias.” They are easily identifiable by a green cross, which is typically illuminated and sometimes flashes, making them stand out, especially at night. This symbol is universally recognized in Spain as an indicator of a pharmacy, and it helps residents and visitors locate a pharmacy quickly.

Antibiotic Policy in Spain

In Spain, pharmacists are not allowed to sell antibiotics over the counter. Antibiotics can only be dispensed with a valid prescription from a licensed healthcare professional. This policy is part of Spain’s effort to combat antibiotic resistance and ensure that antibiotics are used appropriately and only when necessary.
