Tenerife HospitalsTenerife hospitals are as good as any in the world. I've had dealings with two of them and can readily endorse their efficiency and service. Here's a comprehensive list, with as much information as I can find:
To give it its full title, the Hospital Universitario Nuestra Seņora de Candelaria is found on the Carretera del Rosario in Santa Cruz. It is a famous hospital and, during my stint living in Tenerife, I've known a few people with serious, chronic illnesses being transfered to this hospital - and successfully treated. Telephone: (+34) 922 602000
Found on Carretera Cuesta-Taco in La Laguna, this is a typical large hospital, attached to the famous university. Telephone: (+34) 922 678000
In the Urbanizacion San Eugenio in Adeje, this is a small private hospital. Alison had a broken rib treated there and her son had a gashed knee stitched. Very friendly staff. Telephone: (+34) 922 752626
This large hospital in the centre of Las Americas, also known as "The Green Hospital", is one I've stayed in for a couple of weeks. It is as good as any you'll find throughout the world and has interpreters standing by so that the doctors can communicate with you. It is one of several Hospiten hospitals throughout Tenerife. Telephone: (+34) 922 750022
Calle Pescadores, Edificio Discovery, La Cuesta, La Laguna. Telephone: (+34) 922 626240
Calle Alemania, Puerto de la Cruz Telephone: (+34) 922 383551
Calle Agustin de Bethencourt, Puerto de la Cruz. Telephone: (+34) 922 380512
Rambla General Franco, Santa Cruz. Telephone: (+34) 922 291600
The "Orden Hospitalaria de San Juan de Dios" is a religious order that has the aim of promoting research, training and assistance in the field of health. They have this large hospital in Santa Cruz and, although its admin staff are all "brothers", the medical staff are all real consultants, doctors and nurses! Found on Carretera General del Norte, Santa Cruz. Telephone: (+34) 922 645511
The "category 2" label will enable them to deal with outpatients, which has always been a busy area, drastically reducing the infamous queues. They will also be able to deal with minor emergencies, thus reducing the load of the accident and emergency departments, which will be, thereafter, concentrating on urgent cases only.
