Can tourists and visitors get free emergency treatment at St Bernard's Hospital?

Question

Accepted Answer

UK residents visiting Gibraltar can receive emergency and medically necessary treatment free of charge on producing a valid UK passport and their local accommodation address. Other visitors may be charged, and all visitors should travel with medical insurance.
St Bernard's Hospital, Harbour Views Road, runs Gibraltar's only Accident and Emergency department. Anyone in a genuine emergency will be treated.
UK visitors: British nationals living in the UK are treated free for emergencies on production of a valid UK passport and the address of their short-term accommodation in Gibraltar. Some emergency cases are transferred to hospitals in Spain, so UK visitors should also carry a UK GHIC or UK EHIC, which covers state treatment in Spain.
Other visitors: entitlement depends on nationality and any reciprocal arrangement in force. Non-emergency or follow-up treatment may be charged. Confirm your position with the GHA before travelling.
Limits: free emergency treatment does not cover repatriation, planned treatment, or non-urgent care. Comprehensive travel insurance with medical cover is strongly advisable for every visitor, including UK residents.
A&E operates on the Manchester Triage System, so patients are seen in order of clinical priority. Non-emergency cases are encouraged to use alternative care, such as calling 111 for urgent medical advice.
