Tenerife Hospitals

Tenerife 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:

Hospital De La Candelaria

To give it its full title, the Hospital Universitario Nuestra Señora 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.

Hospiten Sur

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.

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.
