There are many clinics and hospitals on the Costa del Sol. Many are private. The short list that follows enumerates the main "public" hospitals that have a 24/7 emergency. Note: I had the misfortune (or luck) of going to the Benalmádena hospital for an emergency (kidney stone) and the service was excellent. The cost was only 140 Euros.

|---|---|
| Hospital Benalmadena | Av. de Cibeles, 6, 29631 Benalmádena |
| Hospital Regional Universitario de Málaga | Av. de Carlos Haya, 84, 29010 Málaga |

All of the Costa del Sol's main agglomerations between Málaga and Estepona are served by Portillo (a subsidiary of Avanza).
