For English-speaking expats in Barcelona, Sanitas medical centres can be one of the most practical ways to access private GP appointments, specialists, diagnostic tests and everyday healthcare support — depending on the policy and current medical directory.
Find a centre
The easiest way to find your nearest Sanitas centre is the Mi Sanitas app or the official Sanitas medical directory (cuadro médico), which show the centres included under your plan. Here is how Sanitas access is spread across Barcelona and the wider province.
Search by your address or postcode.
Networks can differ by plan.
Confirm the specialty or test is offered there.
Some tests or treatments need prior authorisation.

Good to know
The nearest centre is convenient, but check a few more things first:
Cuadro médico
The cuadro médico is the official Sanitas directory of centres, hospitals and professionals included under each plan. See our Sanitas cuadro médico guide and the Sanitas medical network.
Plans
Most Sanitas plans give access to the Barcelona network, but the exact list and what you pay per visit depend on the plan. Visa and residency applicants usually need Sanitas Residents or Residents Platinum; for general cover see comprehensive cover and copay vs no-copay.
Centre vs hospital
A medical centre handles consultations and diagnostics; Sanitas hospitals in Barcelona (such as Hospital CIMA) handle emergencies, surgery and hospitalisation; a Dental Milenium clinic handles dental care. A future hospital, Hospital Marina Sanitas, has also been announced.
By profile
Central centres such as Balmes and Provença, plus diagnostics, suit families. Children's services depend on your plan.
Central Eixample / Sant Gervasi centres are convenient for people working in the city.
The Advanced Rehabilitation centre and centres with diagnostics can be useful for recovery and ongoing care.
