    Veo ya varios comentarios sobre la misma señora . Rubia de pelo corto ! Hoy acompañé a mi hermana a sacarse la tarjeta sanitaria y le ha llamado sin razón alguna , estafadora y poco más . Palabras fuera de contexto. ( ya que mi hermana tiene sus papeles en regla ) . Xenofobia, Mal trato por parte de una servidora pública . Merece más que una reseña una denuncia .

    Al Jordi jurado,A mi niño por no enviar especialista. Le a jodido un riñón, insalvable ya. El otro dios dirá. Hasta la especialista se ha sorprendido.....soberbio, ibicenco con prejuicios....preocupado más de que no tires medicinas para el tercer mundo. Que dios le perdone. Se cree por en cima del bien y del mal. Una vergüenza para la profesión....tiene que enviar a los especialistas, que daño hace

    About This Practice

  • Centre de Salut Es Viver is a cornerstone of the public healthcare infrastructure in Ibiza Town. While it serves as a general primary care center, it is specifically recognized for housing one of the island's key Mental Health Units (Unidad de Salud Mental). This makes it a vital resource for both long-term residents (expats) and tourists requiring psychiatric intervention or medication management within the Spanish National Health System.
  • Facility & Team

  • The facility is a standard government-run medical center. The team consists of multi-disciplinary professionals including General Practitioners (médicos de cabecera), Pediatricians, Nurses, Psychiatrists, and Clinical Psychologists. As a public entity, all staff are highly qualified and have passed rigorous state examinations (OPEs). While Spanish and Catalan are the official languages, many medical staff speak functional English, though administrative staff may not.
  • What to Expect During Your Visit

  • For non-emergencies, patients must book an appointment (cita previa), which can be difficult via phone. For urgent matters, there is a triage process. Tourists should expect a wait, as the center prioritizes local residents with scheduled appointments. The atmosphere is clinical and functional, typical of a busy public health environment.
  • Location & Accessibility

  • Located on Carrer del Músic Fermí Marí, the center is easily accessible for those staying in Ibiza Town (Eivissa). It is within walking distance of many local hotels and residential areas. The facility is ground-floor accessible and compliant with standard Spanish disability access regulations. Parking in the immediate vicinity can be challenging during peak hours.
  • Why Tourists Choose Them

  • The primary driver for tourists is the acceptance of the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). Unlike private medical centers in Ibiza that require upfront payment or private travel insurance, Es Viver provides care under reciprocal EU agreements. It is the go-to location for those needing a public health report or specialized mental health support that private GPs might not provide.
  • Safety & Standards

  • The center adheres to the strict health and safety protocols of the IB-Salut (Servei de Salut de les Illes Balears). This includes standardized emergency protocols and integration with the Can Misses Hospital for referrals. All medical records are digitized within the Balearic health network.
  • Booking & Practical Info

  • Appointments can theoretically be made via the 'Cita Previa' website or the 'IbSalut' app, though these often require a local health card (TSI). Tourists are generally advised to visit in person with their passport and EHIC/Insurance documents to register at the desk for an appointment or urgent care.
